Initially, I can reach out to my community through service by getting myself and others involved in volunteering. For example, I could ask for volunteering opportunities around me, and invite my community to help out by posting on a community site, or encouraging my friends and family to invite their friends and family. I could invite people to my house and we could have ice cream before or after volunteering as an incentive. In our community, the volunteer opportunities cover almost every interest and or passion.…

Just last year, my company set up a Breast Cancer walk that both brought recognition of this hardship and helped one of our fellow cadet’s mothers to keep battling through knowing there were hundreds of people supporting her. I was able to assist in the preparation of this event and help keep things in order the day of for a successful night filled with knowledge and fun. This was and still is a serious cause; Those who helped make it possible and attended the event gained a greater respect for each other. At the end of the night, I’m positive many people felt better about themselves for sharing their knowledge, gaining knowledge,…
The short story, “The Scarlet Ibis”, written by James Hurst, takes place in the south during WWI. This fictional story tells the story of a narrator who is ashamed of his younger brother. Doodle, the little brother, was born with a body incapable of doing normal everyday things. Big brother did not like that Doodle was different so he pushed him to learn how to swim, walk and try and do other normal things. Throughout the story, Big brother pushes Doodle to the limits, and ends with a horrid conflict. To conclude, big brother is very cruel to Doodle because he knows the health risks, he is embarrassed by something he can not help, and he forces him to do things he does not want to do.…

Once a person has an idea or plan, whatever it may be, the only way they are going to make any difference is if they stand by that idea. David Suzuki believed when he started the David Suzuki Foundation that he could change the world, and he still does today. Because of his determination, he has the capability to change society, to change the world. Part of this quality is truly believing in what you are campaigning for, living by those standards you set, and avoiding hypocrisy. Suzuki does this by not only educating others on how to live environmentally-friendly; he does it himself, by, for example, reducing his carbon footprint by no longer travelling overseas and reducing his travelling cross-country among other things. Again, as in the case of leadership, the amount of people that idea affects is not really of importance. No matter the amount of people an idea might affect, the ideal citizen will stand by it, because change cannot happen without…
Four years ago, I read an article about an English man who stayed in China for 20 years to throw away and recycle the litter tourists carelessly leave on the streets. This man, William Lindesay, eventually realized that he could accomplish more with a group than he could alone, so he created a volunteer group. When I read that article, I was awestruck by his fierce dedication and leadership. Immediately, I realized that I too wanted to devote my life to making a change.…
A cause that I especially care about is politics, and many different areas that fall within this. I have always been surrounded by people who have shown me the importance in politics and how different issues can affect people’s lives. This past Presidential election made me even more interested in our world and the people in it. I finally realized how many people around the globe are affected by the decisions of the United States government. Over the past year, I demonstrated my views in school, at home, and at various rallies in the area. Now that the election is over, I am hoping to become even more involved in the community with issues relating to the new president. I am aware of the effects that he will have on a various people, families,…

As an Indian and a country as a whole we have had our share of barbaric and brutal terrorist attacks. The recent terror attack in Mumbai was something first of its kind given the scale of devastation and casualties. As a nation we went through a trauma that perhaps no Indian can ever come out of. It left the entire nation reeling in desolation and deep grief. There was anger amongst people and each and everyone joined hand to fight against terror.…
To better my community, I would shop at store that are affiliated with charities and or donate to a percentage of their profits to worthwhile causes. Built home for orphanages and help them grow up. I would make a better community by telling others how about just a smile or hello? Doesn’t cost a penny but it’s infectious!…
Aside from it all I know I can’t change the world over night, great things take time. There are many short term goals I have set that each take a step toward the big picture. One of them is passing my ACC classes with an A, and getting more involved in my school and community. There’s a variety of preparation and training that needs to be done before I take on a task like this.…
