La Chispa De Las Honduranos: Imperialism and Human Experience
Thornton, Rebecca Mercado
Journal of College and Character, v13 n3 Aug 2012
This article explores a student's expectations and the lived realities of a two-week service learning trip to Honduras. Originally, her expectations were critical and cynical. But through a series of journal entries she made during the program, she shows how her expectations were transformed by the actual experience and how she achieved her own service learning objective.
