This might get off topic, but i just wanted to share some earlier drafts that i might want to revise to make it sound better. For instance my service learning interview summary, i wish i revised it better. I interviewed Amanda Williams, my older sister. Amanda has volunteered a lot in her childhood, till this day. She has volunteered at FACETS, a non profit agency whose mission I to decrease and eliminate homeliness, for the past seven years, she’s volunteered at Mt. Vernon nursing and Rehabilitation center with the elder, and at the David R. Pinn Community Center. As you can see Amanda enjoys volunteering for her community, she’s very experienced when it comes to volunteering because she has done this since she was 12 or 13. Amanda has faced many challenges when it comes to volunteering, but he not only strives for her goal, but she achieves more than is expected. Just like Amanda I didn’t finish my 5 hours, and that was it, after completing my 5 hours, I did an extra 3 hour because I enjoyed helping others in the community. In other words, most people would of refused to ever go back to sunrise and assume some teachers, don’t expect students to do 10 or 11 hour, but I loved volunteering some much that I decided to more than was expected.
My reflection on the impact it gave me. For the past few weeks I’ve been volunteering at Sunrise senior Living Center, where I played bridge, bingo with senior citizens. The impact that I gave to the director activities and the senior citizen, was an impact most could have found hard to do. I made the senior citizens feel, like leaders, I made sure that anytime I go to Sunrise; I would help the elderly with all their needs. Not only did I help them with bingo and entertained them with bridge, I’ve also participated in car wash for Alzheimer’s disease. I obviously made an impact in cleaning car, but as a group, I think that we impacted the way adults think of teenagers. We not only washed cars from tire to roof, but we

    The components of citizenship, community service, academics, work and home life, and extracurricular actives help me shine as a well-rounded individual. As an involved and caring citizen in the Union Township community, I do my best to make my mark. Displaying a good role as a citizen through community service has been a value I possessed ever since I could remember. At a young age, I started to serve my community with my parents at both school and church events and it has stuck with me since. Through community service such as being an assistant teacher in St. Veronica’s Religious Education Program, Glen Este High School’s member of National Honors Society, and Key Club, I not only helped out Union Township but I have also made new relationships and feel good about myself. Community service always makes me feel better because I know I’m helping others and making my mark through the friends I have made through both of these service programs.…

    I cut the grass for some of my family because they asked me to cut it for them. I did it for my Aunt Gwen and my Grandma Hill. I enjoy my time with my Aunt and I was working together with my brother and my cousin and we had a great time over at my Aunt’s house. And at my Grandma's house we had a great time over there. I got to see my baby cousin and I haven’t seen here in a long time. I would do this again anytime because it was fun and if they ask me to. I picked this to do because they asked me to do it for them. This experience made me realize that family matters and to never let them go. It changed me making me a better person and making myself more available to family’s need. This helped someone else and it help the community…

    The results of my hard work and the positive impact it creates on the people around me is a reward in itself. One of the most memorable instances in which I contributed to the greater good was during the summer of my freshman year where I volunteered at West Pines Community Church.

    It was about two different groups of volunteers who attended, and we supported with handing out food to the people who need it. Has a community, we cannot just sit at home and act like the things that are occurring in the society does not affect us as well. Helping the people the community and seeing how some people need these kinds of organizations shows that we as a community are doing the job. The people are part of the society, and as a college student in the Public Administration field, it showed me that to move ahead as a society we have to carry everybody along. Also, by providing these resources, it keeps many of these people out of the street; and it makes the community improve as a whole. After seeing how this organization helps the community and also hearing what people say that we the society are not helping the poor, I believe that it is…

    Sometimes it isn’t easy trying to find the time to serve your community in the way it counts, but the action does not have to be world changing, it is the fact that someone’s life was impacted because of your work. Since I have been volunteering at the Adam’s County Regional Medical Center, I have learned some very valuable lessons. The most important one is that the smallest action could make someone’s day. There was one day I was waiting with a woman in the hallway while her husband was getting an x-ray. She continued to tell me everything that was happening in her life both the ups and the downs.…

    Service is the reason I would be a good candidate for the National Junior Honor Society because I have volunteered in the past and would like to volunteer more in the future. I like volunteering because I enjoy helping people. I would like to join the National Junior Honor Society because I like school, I like to study and I would like to do more volunteer work. One of the things I did was volunteer in the World Refugee Day. I drew designs on people’s hands with henna, I also distributed water to the people who were there to watch, and I gave raffle tickets to the people who were participating in the program.…

    I have learned so much about what it means to be a Leader and a role model. Through the club, I have discovered the joys of serving others and serving the community. To make a child smile is truly the best feeling that one can have and it is all that I hope to receive as payment. I believe that if everyone spent just one hour volunteering a week, they too could begin to form that footprint that everyone has always wanted to make on the world. Maybe they would even start to see that true joy lies within the success of others, not in the numbers in your bank account. Changing the world seems like a daunting task, but if each person is able to touch the lives of one other person, I think we’d soon find out that the world is not as big as it seems to…

    In high school, I joined Zonta Club to be involved with school and community. Zonta Club gave me an opportunity to reach out to people that had helped others and inspired other students to do the same. One of the unforgettable moments was when I volunteered in a fundraiser to help Alzheimer's disease. It was an event, called Rock-a-Thon, where kids and adults were together to raise awareness those who had the disease. Everyone was participating in the activities that were available in the event. There were games that both kids and elders could play with. They showed stories about the importance of being aware and helping those with Alzheimer’s disease. The event had shaped my views on giving back to the community. Service was not only about giving back, but it is also about learning from others. The joy that the people had even when there was a sickness in their life was incredible. It made me realize how I was fortunate to be living a life without the disease. The fundraiser had made me learn about the people in my town and the obstacles that had to endure and were still enduring. The event had impact the involvement and the appreciation I have over the…

    This organization helps cancer patients find needed bone marrow donors. Finding donors are very difficult and finding matches are even more unlikely. This event made me realize how fortunate I was. I began volunteering more regularly with the same organization as well as places such as Food-share and a retirement home with residents who have memory loss. SAM and the retirement home mattered the most to me because I have close relatives who have schizophrenia and have died from cancer. Volunteering with these organizations made me realize how fortunate I was and inspired me to keep striving. This gave me a new perspective on life and I became more optimistic and outgoing. In addition to volunteering, I found a job, I began weightlifting, and I became much more social. In changing the way I think, I learned that life continues and that I still have time to improve myself.…

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Whatever you do, don’t beg. Begging is one of the worst things you can do when you really want something, (unless your parents are push-overs and surrender after begging). Begging is not good because it will either annoy or make them mad. If you make them mad by constantly bugging them they REALLY won’t buy what you want. There is one exception to bugging your…

    My participation in Student Government has taught me important leadership skills I will be able to carry with me throughout, not only my college career, but my nursing career. Sports has taught me that hard work, discipline, and teamwork will not only defeat any obstacle that comes my way, but with the help and encouragement of others, we can come together as one and get the job done. My extracurricular activities have taught me that with the aid of others anything is possible. Through my community service volunteering at a local housing company for the mentally disabled, I have seen first-hand what the impact one person can make on another’s life. Helping and mentoring the mentally disabled who can’t do some tasks on their own has touched my heart and changed the way I appreciate life in many different aspects. It just reminds me of how fortunate I am to be able to help other, despite the time it takes to do so. The overall time I have sacrificed to do these extracurricular activities inside and outside of school has all been well worth it. Overall, the life lessons I have learned and the change in character I have gained from these activities are gifts I will be able to carry with me in able to achieve my goal.…
