Mending Wings Reflection
I attended a youth group at the age 12, and at 16 I was appointed as one of the youth leaders this was mainly volunteer work for a while. Mending wings was a non-profit youth organization that helped Children on the reservation overcome obstacles and hardships we went through on a everyday basis, and to understand that the color of our skin, where your from, and what happened to you in your past does not define you as a person. They were there to show Kids that we can Make better choices then the ones before us and break the cycle of oppression.

    Summary: Hoops For Haiti

    • 720 Words
    • 3 Pages

    During my high school years approximately around my sophomore/ junior year my basketball team including I myself attended the Hoops for Haiti fundraiser that Meredith Elementary school hosted. Hoops for Haiti helps aid the disaster relief fund that is held in Haiti. Hundreds of elementary school children paid $5 each for a chance to play with not only Neumann-Goretti’s women’s basketball team but also the men’s team too. All proceeds were meant to go directly to rebuild and fund schools in Haiti. I decided to talk about this specific service that I participated in because not only was it fun but I got to interact with kids younger than me and was able to put smiles on their faces, those who were there and hopefully those in Haiti knowing that they do have people who care and want to help them out in every way possible.…

    In high school, I was involved multiple clubs and groups varying from athletic, academic, and artistic. Overall, the school’s marching band color guard had the largest influence on my personal growth in during the time. At my school, all color guard members are required to complete one season of marching and playing instruments with the band before being allowed to join the guard. Therefore, it wasn’t until my sophomore year that I auditioned and was accepted into the color guard which I participated in for the rest of my high school career. Because there was no recognized team captain, all the girls were expected to step up as leaders not only for themselves but for everyone else as well.…

    In tenth grade, I went on a missions trip with my church to Mink Lake, which is a camp by the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. During the missions trip, we prepared a camp for the summer. Some of my personal jobs were to help clean out two sheds and reorganize them, haul logs, and trim trees all over the camp. The trip benefitted myself and the other people on the missions trip because we were able to help people have a fun experience at camp over the summer, and we also helped the people running the camp to not have to work so hard to prepare the camp for the summer campers. Another reason it was a good experience for all of us workers is because we did not have our cell phones, so we were able to form new relationships with each other since we were not constantly distracted by our…

    Preteens Narrative

    How I ended up working with the preteens is really almost a coming of age story in and of itself. On Wednesday nights I go to church. For students my age you would normally go upstairs and go to what we call Verge which is like a worship time for seventh through twelfth grade. At the time I did not like to go to Verge and I was not getting anything out of that time. So I would hang out downstairs where the children's and preteen ministries are located. One night I was standing around by the front desk not really doing…

    Junior Honor Society, JHS, and Community Action Program/ Students Against Destructive Decisions, Cap/Sadd are marvelous examples of these. While in JHS I have volunteered for working at the science fair, family fun night, tutoring younger kids, collecting breakfast passes, and collecting money for causes such as, the Connellsville flood.
