For my service learning at FOLC, one of the events that were important to attend to was the health fair. My director emphasised that this health fair was going to take place a month before it actually happened, and it seemed like a major deal. I had visualized the whole event as hectic, with speakers grabbing audiences and trying to inform them about whatever they had to proposed. However, when I got to the health fair, I was somewhat disappointed. The health fair took place in a gymnasium and it was pretty empty looking. The booths were set up and no spectators came in. I was suppose to sit at my organization's booth, FOLC, and give them information about who we are and what our goals were, but that was kind of difficult if no one stopped by, especially that we did not have our display until 2 hours after the health fair started. We just sat there the whole entire time and it definitely was not how I imagined it.
