Public Service Personal Statement

Being able to empathize with others more effectively and reaching out to affect other people's lives for the better has taught me the importance of public service. It has helped me to be a more valuable asset at work, pushed me to conquer academic goals, better equipped me to care for my family and broadened my competence in every field. Public service will continue to serve as a valuable source of knowledge, build my pride in my community, establish networks and helpful connections and further build my character and skills in helping others. Throughout my life my family and I had to persevere. my father worked seventy hours per week just to keep our family afloat while my two brothers and I watched over each other. My father did everything
I very much enjoyed volunteering for this organization because it built my character and competence as well. I have also been involved in Drama Club and working on every single set production since tenth grade. I loved the sense of teamwork, it has taught me the value of participating in something greater than myself. I also was a leader intern for Camp Invention, which inspires future innovators and build their confidence in the natural ability to dream and create. Through this experience I got to perform a lot of one on one work with children to expand their confidence and creativity. I loved volunteering for this program because it improved my patience tremendously, as well as my attention to detail and it helped broadened my leadership abilities. Through my junior and senior year I also was a lab assistant for several teachers. I loved this position because it framed independence, work ethic and time management for me. Public service has allowed me to vent, instead of breaking down or giving up and I channeled the hardship in my life into helping others. Public service has helped me in school, bettering
This feeling is empathy. It is being a humanitarian, caring and it is the basis of why we do things for others. If you should have anything in this world it is that, public service allows individuals to give, not for themselves but because the community needs it. Helping others unconsciously inspires others to do the same. That is the beauty of public service. That is also why I want to be a component of change rather than a bystander. Personally I have learned a lot from my services to others but it is nowhere near enough. Public service will be a valuable source of knowledge from anyone or any organization I assist and anywhere I go I can still reach out and help. Not only that but wherever I go and whoever I help I can always establish a sense of pride in the work I will be doing for my community. Even at Norwich University, during my studies I intend to help the community that is willing to give me so much because it is also showing your appreciation and respect. While attending Norwich University I want to explore and involve myself in as many clubs as I can, I want to serve the community and the people within it in the hopes of giving back. Professionally serving my community, no matter where it is will provide me in useful network connections and will better establish a humane connection between my the people in the community and me. Serving my community builds pride inside me,
