When I had first volunteered at a preparatory school as a teacher’s assistant‚ I was thrilled and excited. I enjoyed working with children and I admit‚ was slightly disillusioned with expectations that the children would be dutiful and effortless to watch over. Unfortunately‚ all my prior imaginations crashed the second I entered the classroom. Everywhere I saw‚ it was pure chaos. I dodged a flying crayon as I saw children running around throwing paper airplanes‚ balls‚ while others just stared at

Last year‚ in August I found out my father had been cheating on my mother. April 18‚2017 my parents had officially become divorced. This meant after 15 yrs. ‚ my mother was going back to work. For me‚ this meant a drastic increase in responsibility. Quite frequently‚ in the mornings I have to wake up early to get my fourteen year old brother off to school. If I hurry him too much he will get frustrated and if we move too slow‚ I will be late to school. I come home in the evenings‚ and regardless

I have been bringing kids here to volunteer for 13 or 14 years‚ and we come 3 to 4 times a year. I think it is really important for kids to have volunteer experience and I like coming here because the food stays within our community‚ within the metro area. The kids really like coming because they think it is really neat how we can just work 3 hours and can provide so many meals for kids and their families in just a short amount of time and its fun. All of the people here are really fun to work with

I believe one of the most admirable things a person can do is give back‚ whether it be community service or volunteering. I try my hardest to make sure I make a positive difference in my community. When I was a child‚ I thought that just study in the classes‚ finish all assignments‚ and do well in the tests were enough to become a successful person. But now I realize‚ all of those were not the most important. In an attempt to create a difference‚ I joined the International Club last year. The purpose

Since the beginning of the trimester‚ I have been volunteering three days a week in a second grade classroom at Oak Trace Elementary School. I have enjoyed every minute of my time here because I feel so appreciated by everyone that I help. Every day I walk in‚ I am greeted by the women in the office‚ and then I am usually waved to by a student in the hall on the way to my classroom. Once I get to the classroom‚ I am greeted in the best possible way by the students. Most of them will run up and hug

community gardens and other small tasks similar to that. I did not enjoy volunteering because I was too young. I was forced upon something that I did not want to do. I just wanted to have fun and did not understand the concept of community service. Now that I am done with Girl Scouts‚ I have moved on to a different stage of my life. I now know that volunteering is worth the time and effort. After years of taking up various volunteering positions‚ I have finally found one that means something to me‚ one

Volunteering at St. Francis Medical Center has been such a great educational experience for me. I have been there for about three years and I am still planning to continue. When I first began there‚ I had no intention of staying. I never desired to have a career in the medical field or have anything to do with it. I always felt that it was something that my parents expected me to accomplish and being pressured into it caused me to rebel against the idea. At the time‚ I wanted to pursue a career

order to qualify for my high school’s Nation Honor Society‚ I had to fulfill 20 hours‚ atleast‚ of community service. My mom and I occasionally volunteer to clean the Rouge River behind my house or work at Gleaner’s Food Bank‚ but this specific volunteering experience was different. The event that impacted me the most was when my job at Open Door Ministry was being the “runner”. This meant‚ once all the donated food was packaged and ready to be distributed‚ I ran it to people’s cars and laid
