i chose this quote because i feel it helps spread the word about service learning. The way this quote is worded helps ignite a sense of interest to learn more about the topic and how to get involved. once people understand all parts of service learning projects, it will help increase the amount of participants.

"Service learning activities seek to promote students' self-esteem, to develop higher-order thinking skills, to make use of multiple abilities, and to provide authentic learning experiences."

It helps people to develop a true understanding of all the benefits associated with service learning projects.
