Christian Service Project Analysis

I learned a lot about the traditions of other people's thanksgiving. I also learned that while everybody’s thanksgiving may have somethings in common they are all different.I think that thanksgiving is about caring for family and that is something that I have learned from my

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

This experience led me to carry out several ventures. One of my first ventures was helping in food bank where I helped to pack food and transport it to several organizations and people in need. was hard to balance my school work with volunteering since I had to go in the evenings, but I developed the grit and passion to work hard! I started feeling a sense of accomplishment and gained responsibility.

During the week in Chicago, I grew closer to God, learned how to be a better leader, and learned to put others before myself, which is what helped me become a better person. Serving others that had situations worse than I could imagine was life changing. The idea I could make such a tremendous change in someone’s life while doing activities I enjoyed, opened my eyes to the potentials of serving. After the week ended and I returned home, I wanted to do more for the people around me who were less fortunate. Going into freshman year, I made the decision to volunteer at Urban Vision. I help kids who have newly immigrated to Akron and the United States find items at a holiday shop for their families and themselves. Many of these kids went directly to the necessity aisle, (i.e. toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soaps) to get these items for their families, even though there were plenty of toys for the kids themselves. These kids helped me realize I should be grateful for everything in life, from shelter over my head to the clothes on my

I learned a lot from the Black Lives Matter discussion. It was great seeing people around my age speak so eloquently and passionately about an organization working to make a change in society. I got a better understanding of what the network was.

My community still faced hard times and this time it was more personal, with a death of a teammate. Still a heartbreaking experience and not easy at all, but my past experiences facing hardships helped me and my team. Now a senior in High School it is my opportunity to be the role model for all the students and families in my community. As I prepare for my last year in my hometown, I will use the experiences to lead me to the next journey and have a community that will take care of me, even when I am miles and miles

We donated our time to a charity during the fall, the JROTC program decided to do the Mana Cafe to help those in need. It was a food drive and people would help gather food together to deliver it to families that needed it for the winter. Everyone was pitching together and doing their part to get the food together and in the people’s car. Even in the cold weather, everyone was having fun, knowing that they were doing excellent in their hearts. Therefore that day families were allowed to eat despite their economic struggle and all as a result of the service we did to help them.

I learned that I am incredibly passionate about the law. I realize I enjoyed learning the rules of both Civil and Criminal Procedure, and I like reading and analyzing cases.

I would like to be considered for admission to this Colorado Christian University because I believe that it will be a perfect fit for me. I will have the opportunity to receive a degree and strengthen myself in the Word of God. For many years, I have been interested in studying Psychology. My interest in pursuing this field stems from many factors, but the number one reason will be my love for people. I consider myself to be big hearted and a compassionate person. God has blessed me with a caring spirit. I have love for people and I desire to be a helping hand to as many people I can reach. For many years I have found myself working with foster children or taking care of those who needed caregiver assistance and I want to go further. I believe

I REALIZED THAT I must be ‘bicultural’ (belonging both to the world of education and the world of everyday experiences) to be an effective researcher.

I also learned that there is more to life, especially for married people, than just going to work and coming back to bed to sleep. I suddenly found out about something that was never mentioned in our house: Sex!

Vacation Bible School is a program that the First Baptist Church of Carrizo Springs offers to young students within the community. The soul purpose of this program is to help students find The Lord through reading his word. Vacation Bible School wants to help students find hope with Christianity. This program is also a great way for students to create memories, and learn lessons that they will carry throughout the rest of their lives.

I witnessed true comradery, I learned how to be compassionate and experienced a love I’ve never known before. I learned how to give without expectations of something in return (other than the good feeling accompanied by it), I learned to never judge a book by its cover, be grateful for what you have because some aren’t as fortunate, and most importantly be kind to everyone!

What I have learned is some patience to listen to other’s ideas and perspectives, even if I don’t agree. During this year I have learned to accept other people’s perspectives. There is one boy and he has very strong opinions about everything and anything. One Wednesday during community circle we were talking about women’s rights/ abortion, let’s just say he had a very diverse opinion. I always end up disagreeing with him but I have learned that he has a right to express his opinion and I have a right to express mine.

On January 30,2016 I volunteered to help clean, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Six other members and I from the church gathered at 6:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. The job was to clean the church benches, floors, bathrooms and other areas in the church that may needed tidying up. I was asked to clean the bathrooms and back church benches of the church.
