Comparison: Rakim Vs. Kaif
The first day I met Rakim and Kaif was in the Pre-Kindergarten, from that day I have known the two brothers for fourteen years. Growing up in the same neighborhood as the two brothers, they were almost the same in terms of what they enjoyed doing. At a young age Rakim and Kaif were all about riding their bikes, getting in trouble, and most importantly; having fun. As I grew older with them, Rakim and Kaif began to change and take shape into their very different but unique personalities. Though they have some very similar interests, their differences greatly outweigh their similarities, making them distinct to who they are.
Being around Rakim I can always tell that he is a very open minded person, if someone is new to the city and feels unwelcomed

Rakim and Kaif are the polar opposites when it comes to things they like to do. Rakim is more of an outdoor person, he enjoys hiking, camping, biking and swimming. If an activity has outdoors in the description I can almost always guarantee that I will see Rakim there. On the other hand Kaif has interests that have to do with being indoors. Kaif enjoys the opposite of what his brother likes, he is more into playing computer games, watching movies, reading books and being indoors. Kaif’s reserved personality keeps him from being with us most of the time. But most of the times he has to be forced to come and hang out when he is out with his …show more content…
An example of helping was when Rakim went to California for a year to volunteer at Yosemite National Park, he was there for three months helping out at the park and engaging in activities that were for the betterment of the park. While Rakim was volunteering in California experiencing the outdoors, Kaif stayed in Austin and took part within the community. Kaif and I both were a part of a local church organization that helped embetter the city's impoverished area by cleaning them up and restoring life to them. When volunteering here in Austin, Kaif never complained and did his part to help out. Aside from his personality I thought that Kaif would refuse to do any work and be remote but I was completely wrong, he followed what he was told to do and finished. From then on I saw Kaif as someone who only worked for the things that mattered and respected him for

When they adopt their avatars as Indy and Max they both become whoever they want to be and have the confidence to express themselves freely. “In the end people accept you for what’s on the inside “. Their best friends Clive (Max’s best friend) and Renee (Saskia’s best friend) see that has the opposite they believe that people accept you for how good looking you are or how you act around them.

    The Kiwanis International Club held a survey where they asked when is it important to help out others? 75% of people believe in helping others when it will have an important impact on not only their lives but on other people's lives. When asked what type of community service makes the biggest difference, ⅔ answered hands on activities such as donating supplies, volunteering with a local service club, or participating in local community events have a bigger influence than just giving out money (Most Americans Believe One Can Can Change the World). Today, because of the sacrifices and achievements of many strong leaders, others now have their independence from countries, they have the right to vote, improved working conditions, or just an opportunity to be a better person. According to the survey on volunteerism done by the Kiwanis International Club, 86% of Americans believe one person can make a change (“Most Americans Believe One Can Change the World”). If this many people believe that humans are capable of making a change in the world, then the only thing stopping us from improving the world is us. As a quote by an anonymous person states “If you’re searching for that one person who will change your life...take a look in the mirror”; humans are the future of the world, and to live prosperous lives, we should be willing to help improve not only our living conditions, but to not be selfish and lend a helping hand to others in need as well. What the world is molded into is because of us, and as John F. Kennedy once said, “Making a positive difference in our own life or the lives of others, organizations, and the world at large starts with a healthy mind, body, and spirit, and a change of daily thoughts, communications, and actions of our own self…

    My biggest community activity is for Special Olympics of New Jersey. My family and I attend many of the events for SONJ including the Summer Games. I started volunteering by working and playing with the athletes. The area we staffed was where the athletes came to take a break and play with carnival-like games. The ages ranged from little kids to adults. It was fun putting smiles on their faces when you told them they won! It showed me we aren’t any different than them. They still like to do sports and have fun. They love to win prizes as do we. They just have disabilities that make them special. Over all volunteering for SONJ is a fantastic experience and in my opinion every boy and…

    I volunteer in my community whenever I get the opportunity. For example, I helped students get to school safely and I helped out around the school. I volunteered at the public library to help younger children. I now see it is hard work to get children focused and help them not make a big mess, but I enjoyed helping them in any way I can. Volunteering at the public library also taught me about patience. Not everything went exactly how I planned it out, but at the end it still worked out. My time at the library also taught me about effort.…

    Having the opportunity to make new, diverse friends around the community impacted me as a person. The people I met not only included the people I served, but also included the people I worked alongside of me in the food pantry. Since I volunteered at the same day and time every week, I was able to become familiar with many new people. In fact, many of these people were even able to connect to my life. One day I had a conversation with a man I volunteered with numerous times whose name was Steve.…
