Boys And Girls Club Reflection Paper

They had less of the older kids, who mostly stayed together, did their own thing and didn’t really talk to us. The younger kids were very friendly and right off the bat asked all of us our names and started picking out which ones of us they wanted to play with. The kids here were all excited to play the games we had planned and were more enthusiastic about them. All the kids played the dice soccer game with us and were all involved in the game. It took a couple of tries before they got the hang of the game, but once they did it was nothing but fun. We helped the kids with their homework and stayed with them as the ate lunch, after some of us played board games with them, played toys with them, and tossed balls outside. Towards the end, the remaining kids were all outside dancing to music as they older kids practiced their karate lessons

The Boys and Girls Club of America has a positive outreach to at risk children. They provide after school activities and a safe environment for youth. The organization has a positive impact on younger children and helps them develop. The organization offers many programs for children ranging in the age of 6 to 18. The program helps them focus of skill building and aids them in finding interests in science, math, technology and engineering.

Children are encouraged to communicate their needs, feelings and thoughts. They are given opportunities to choose and use reading materials.

I was ecstatic to be able to be involved with this program. I volunteered to help with the program for 4 years and it was the best experiences I had with children. I did multiple things for the children: I was a chaperone for one of the groups, I made there lunches for them one year, and also made the activities for the children to enjoy.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a program that was introduced in the 1860’s in Hartford Connecticut. “Believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, they organized the first Club. A cause was born.” Now made up of more than 4,300 clubs and in their 103rd year, the goal of these clubs is “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”

The boys and girls club have been serving children for 150 years. They have given their helping hand to millions of kids worldwide. The Boys and Girls club’s mission has always been “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The Boys and Girl’s club was formed to assist underprivileged children or children who do not live in the best environment. This organization possesses a numerous amount of goals and achievements they want for each child in the program. They provide a safe and fun environment; help create skills for the future and help children build relationships with positive adults. In addition the

Hi everyone, I am observing on Wednesdays from 8-10 and Fridays 3-4 in Cuesta Children’s Center Preschool 2. I believe a child’s environment can affect their mood, social skills, ability to learn, mental health, and physical health. These essential elements need to be meet or it will affect their adult lives. I feel the Cuesta Center does a remarkable job of offering all of these, and has wonderful transitions throughout the day. I enjoy observing the teachers modeling acceptable class room behaviors, asking open-ended questions while using descriptive language to help to expand children’s speech, and they were engaged in the children’s presents. I was engrossed with how the class offers multiple opportunities for children to broaden their

As I prepare to serve at kids connection I have a few set goals for myself to get the best out of the experience. I plan to fully commit and not just go there because I have to. I want to interact and build relationships with the children. I hope to find the children's interests out, so I can participate and do activities with them. By doing this I hope to learn about them and start building a trusting relationship with them. This is my plan as I am going in, but I know when dealing with children nothing goes as planned. I am going to be ready to adjust to whatever happens, but I am excited to help out with the children. All in all I believe this is a good opportunity to interact with children and learn how each individual is unique in their own way.

During this time, we had a small conversation and were able to gain the trust from these children. This program was to show these kids things they had to look forward to in school and give them a role model that they might not have at home. The most rewarding program for me was JROTC, which is a military style extracurricular that I submerged myself into during my freshman year of high school. Through this, I was actively involved until I graduated high school, and from time to time I do go back and talk to the class about the accomplishments I have made. Many kids joined JROTC because they were problem children and needed some discipline because they wanted a future in the military, or because it was just another class to take. During my junior and senior years of high school, I noticed just how many of these kids were behaving badly because that was all they knew. Instead of being like most people and yelling at them to “get their act together” I talked with them and tried to understand where they were coming

The Floyd Bennett Kids Care Club has made its mark on the world since 2007. Under the direction of Barbara F. Stein, this club has completed over 520 hours of service ranging in areas of poverty & homelessness to peace & kindness. Since its inception, the number of youth engaged in service has increased to over 40 members. According to Ms. Stein, “Kids Care Club initiatives have taught our entire school population about responsibility, empathy, and their power to help those less fortunate”.

Walking nervously into my first day of working at Westfield Child Center was a defining moment that ultimately impacted my life in a way in which it would never go back to the way it once was. I can clearly remember it was a place filled with children’s excitement and staff who seemed to be a part of their own family. Everyone was extremely friendly and greeted me with open arms, however, it still did not diminish my feeling of ostracism. Whenever anyone enters a new setting, it is normal to feel excluded immediately. These feelings are natural and expected due to the lack of knowledge we have on the people in general, how the facility itself is run, and learning our place to fit into their little community. As time progressed, I found this place to be very

Right from the start, Olds says, he had the sense that some of his colleagues were approaching their work “as glorified baby-sitting, with not a lot of aspirations for the kids or their parents.” Most of the activities at the center were pure play. “I wanted the kids to have fun, but wanted to create more cognitive stimulation and structure for the kids,” he says, so he brought in a new curriculum, the Perry Pre-School program, which he had learned about while at Hopkins and which was being tested in Michigan. He also started inviting parents to come into his classroom during naptime so he could discuss their child’s

I have never experienced a classroom quite like the one I was placed at this semester. The Children’s Institute, a hospital and day school combined in one building is an amazing organization. They provide comprehensive support and a positive learning environment for kids that really need it the most. The teachers and aides are all very friendly and patient, and the nurses are on call to help out if a student needs assistance.

Even in 2017 social injustice is very real. Many before have taken measures against this issue, but it's still there. Over the past couple of week's, I've taken notice to the events that have been going on in the world. While keeping the question how can I change that in mind. It occurred to me that many of the oppressors committing social injustices were victims themselves. They were not properly educated when they were younger. Growing up thinking something is right your whole life is hard to change. So, I knew that’s where I would start.

Now that the different facets of the multiverse theory have been explained, what about society’s reaction? My hypothesis is that society will freak out and eventually progress into a nihilistic and existential society. Inevitably, there will also be individuals who react differently. I believe society’s reaction will mirror that of what happened when Charles Darwin proposed his theory of evolution. Because society went haywire when their view of the world was changed, no doubt society will react in a similar way because their view of the entire universe itself would change. A majority of the population sees our universe as a singular entity that exists on its own. Outside of our universe, there is nothing, since everything we know of is contained within the universe. But the multiverse theory claims that other universes exist outside of our own. Those universes contain other versions of ourselves in different contexts, different jobs, different socioeconomic levels, and with different passions.
