An Example Of Autobiographical Sketch Of A Teenage Life

I have been involved with several service activities throughout my life. Some of the more recent services that I have participated in include: Helping set up and helping teach underprivileged children at the Children's Defense Fund Freedom School. Here I volunteered my time during the summer helping set up the classrooms and supplies, moving and unpacking and organizing; supplies, food, and donations the summer program. I also helped out this summer program by checking people in and out, guiding and directing people where to go, and unload and load the children onto the busses. During the summer I also volunteered a week of my time to be a “buddy” to a special olympiad at their Special Olympics Athletic Retreat. Being a “buddy” included self regulation, chaperoning on field trips one on one, assisted with self care skills when they where needed. Also this summer I volunteered my time for four weeks being a counselor in training at the Stowe YMCA. This included reading to the campers, helping serve meals to the campers, Chaperoning on field trips with the campers and being camp counselors to campers in grades pre-k through fifth grade. I also have been participating on my temple’s youth group advisory board. There I help determine, plan, organize, and run group activities and social events for the youth groups. I have been doing this for the past three years. This group also partakes in several community service projects throughout the

My name is Justin Schultz I was born in Elmhurst which is a suburb of Chicago. Most of my child hood was spent playing with my friends and my brother. My brother was three years older than me and his name is Joey. My Dads side of the family all lived near us and my mom’s side of the family lived in Dubuque. We would visit my dad’s parents often and my mom’s parents would come up like once a month and because the water in Dubuque was good they would always bring a jug of water.

Active involvement in my community and high school has been a priority for me just as doing my best to be successful in high school, at the same time, has. Much of the involvement I have had in my community would be service-oriented. These past four years especially, I have used my time to give back to my community in different ways. Ordinarily, my involvement outside of my high school was spent with my church. On Saturdays, I would often spend time helping with renovations at my church. Additionally, I helped lead children’s groups on occasions such as Vacation Bible School, Sunday school classes, church camps, and on missions trips. Mexico, California, and Alaska are places I have been on missions trips. Outside of church, I have volunteered

I became interested in missions when my family and I lived abroad in Laos, Singapore, and Costa Rica; we had adopted my youngest brother and were in the process of immigrating him back to the United States. I believe that I can use my majors, Spanish and music (piano pedagogy) in evangelism and in furthering Christ and His Kingdom.

I like to be engaged in activities that contribute to the community. I was part of the Mile of Hope, event used to raise awareness for cancer and fundraise to support the families of those affected. Through my membership in National Honor Society I have contributed in activities such as the annual toy drive to provide children in need with a gift on the holiday of Christmas, I also participated in the annual can food drive to provide families food for a Thanksgiving meal. I volunteered at the Brownsville Public Library assisting the public and organizing books. For a period of time I also volunteered at an income tax company Jackson Hewitt cleaning and organizing the

This is a group of students who meet together weekly to discuss, pray over, and advocate for injustices around the world. As of first semester of sophomore year I have been one of the leaders of this group; through this, God has opened my eyes and broken my heart for victims of abuse, violence, and injustice in the world. I believe that God desires for our hearts to be broken for what breaks his heart, not just so we hurt, but so we wake up and help those who hurt. This is where my passion for nonprofit ministry lies, I hope to help those who are hurting; exactly what profession or ministry that will take me to, I am not sure, but I have full confidence that God will lead me to the right ministry when he sees fits.

However, I knew that my desire to make a difference on a global scale would not fade and that someday I would answer the call. I have always been a service-oriented person; from my early days volunteering in a nursing home during my summers, to leadership

I have been a missionary kid ever since I was approximately ten years old. I have lived in South Africa for a total of about 6 years within 3 terms. My dad was a successful businessman, but one day he felt the Lord calling him into full-time ministry. I can recall him telling us as a family about what was happening. Before we even went onto the mission field, God was placing in me a personal zeal for people. I remember receiving a picture in my mind of me playing with the kids in Africa and doing crafts with them. I told my mom and dad about this picture, and we began collecting craft supplies from craft stores around our area. It was a really awesome project and some people even heard about it and stopped by to give what they had. I was able

People often ask me, “Why do you it?”, they have seen me work hard being involved in the community and they just wonder. A famous quote from Mother Teresa always comes to mind when that question is asked, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create ripples.” Over the years, I have exemplified this quote through volunteering for numerous charities, such as Homeless Coalition, Big Heart Brigade and the Salvation Army. I have been a dedicated volunteer of The Salvation Amry for over 6 years. I have led their Back-To-School Bash event that focused on providing children schools supplies before school opens and worked as the assistant director of their summer music camp, where underprivilege children were

I was asked to write an experiential Autobiographical sketch. Not only that, but also that said sketch was an automatic A. I am the kind of person that deeply desires to hand in a paper that says “I am a rebel.” When given this sort of requirement. However I’m not in high school anymore and my parents are paying an ungodly amount of money for me to be here. I figured not being the teachers worst nightmare would only be expected. When I say the teachers worst nightmare I mean that one student that comes along who makes jokes and distracts the class. Not just that though, that child is only a nuisance unless he is really good at it, to the point where even the teacher gets distracted. Well I was, or am still, that kid.

Life is what we make of it. Our experiences and mistakes shape us as human beings and make us who we are. How we react to bad situations and what we take from them builds our character. Since a little girl i’ve always been active and sports have always been important to me. Being the person I am when something is important to me I become obsessed with it like the sport volleyball. Also being the youngest out of four I am more mature for my age. I’ve grown up watching and learning from seeing my siblings mistakes. Even though I have made some of my own especially one bad decision I am going to have to live with, I refuse to believe in regret. I am a more optimistic person because of my experience.

Lastly, nothing can be more satisfying like the trust bestowed on a humanitarian aid worker, because this is a calling not just a job. There really is no sharp distinction between work and the rest of one’s life, between ones interest and passions. I believe mission driven organizations provide one way to reconcile the elements of seeking professional fulfillment and paying the bills. There is an upside to that work that makes you feel passionately and doing it because you are getting

Yep, my life was nothing interesting from an outsider’s perspective. I grew up in little Rock Falls, Illinois with my mom, dad, brother and sister. I went to my small Catholic school of St. Andrew, and when high school came, I enrolled at Newman. Everything was picture perfect. To influential adults around me, my life was going according to their plan. Except I was lying to them.

In addition to the mission trips I take every summer, I am passionate about evangelization and spreading God’s love to all as seen through my co-leading a high school Bible Study at my parish. I am also quite open minded and willing to try new things as I have quickly learned the importance of flexibility through leading a small group at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton for a number of freshmen and sophomores. Learning to be accepting of all these people I interact with so regularly as well as being able to share the faith with them has helped develop my character into an honest and loving person. I believe I deserve to go on this Mission Trip because not only is my dedication shown through service, but also through my grades and participation in many extracurricular

There are so many great things about growing up. Like learning how to drive, being allowed to stay out late, or just being able to do things with your friends whenever you want. Something nobody ever tells you about growing up is that when it comes to friends, you either grow closer or grow apart.
