On September 10, 2013, I attended a women studies and service learning conference. Although all of the speakers were very wonderful, one simply stuck to me. The speaker name was Dr. Barber who is a teacher at Washington University. Dr. Barber spoke about her experience with a service learning project that dealt with incarcerated women. In the project, her students went to three locations to spend time with the children who have incarcerated mothers. Dr. Barber stated that she loved the students to go out and experience service learning because they are able to apply what they learned in the classroom to the real world. This speaker stood out to me because I did have an incarcerated father. It is great to have people their to support you because you have a figure to look up to. Although there were negatives about living without my father like not knowing how he looked or who my other parent was, it was also some positives. It made me realize how strong my mother was for having to take care of twins and another daughter. Also it made me want to go out and help children who felt like me, if they belonged or if they feel like something was missing. Although the women service and learning conference was very great in explaining what feminism and service learning was, the speaker that stood out to me was Dr. Barber. This is because I could connect to what she was discussing and it also helped me to want to go and help.
