Giving Back To The Community

In regard to community, I have volunteered for my clubs, DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), BPA (Business Professionals of America), NTHS (National Technical Honor Society), Cross Country and others. From helping the club itself to representing the club through charitable acts, such as making christmas a little better for military families, or helping at assisted living centers. My parents taught me at a young age how to be a considerate

I intend to give back to the community by combining knowledge obtained from the study of Psychology with the leadership skills I have gained by working in a tutorial program into a wide scale program for underprivileged school children of my community.

From day one my mom taught me that you will get more satisfaction giving to and helping others than you ever will by just doing things for yourself. I truly believe this. Volunteering to teach swimming lessons, organizing recycled items, and visiting the nursing home are all things I have been involved in and doing each of those I have learned more and more about how important service is. Just recently my classmates and I helped an elderly woman move all of her belongings out of her home and into the 4H building for an auction. The 4H building is on the fairgrounds where I have volunteered to clean up every spring for the last 3 years. Service is very important but also very rewarding. I look toward to doing more service projects in the

For my community service, I have been going to Lyndon B. Johnson Head Start Program, or LBJ. At LBJ, it is my responsibility to look after children and clean up after them. The teachers there set up many activities for the kids to work on, most of the time they finger paint. The teachers also set up small field trips. For example, we once went on a field trip to a house that had set up a pumpkin patch and many other activities for the kids. The house we went to wasn’t very far from LBJ. The children had so much fun choosing a pumpkin and playing different games, and I had fun helping them and taking care of them.

Community service is very near and dear to me. I have been the recipient on many occasions and it has helped me understand the importance of giving back to your community. When in the hospital I have appreciated all the visits from the Michigan University athletes, the book mobile, Delta pilots, along with the numerous other organizations that have programs to help easy hospital stays for kids. Since, I do not usually get many visitors while I am in the hospital, since I am usually hours from home, these have been very special to me.

I personally love community service. One Sunday of every month, my church engages in Live the Sermon Sunday. On this Sunday, we focus on helping our neighbors in the community. The church opens a variety of stations that everyone can participate in, such as; yard work for the elderly, feeding the homeless, and even packing goodies for elementary schools. I enjoy packing cute stickers, colorful pencils, and yo-yos for students. What I enjoy most about packing goodies for students is that I’m totally anonymous to them. I don’t seek recognition, or anything in return. I care more about

Service to the community has been important to my family for as long I can remember. My earliest recollections of community service were at 10 years of age when I would join my father in cleaning up the town pond, and my mother in feeding the homeless. With this early introduction to service, I find being a person for others natural, and have always found ways in which I can give back.

With God's will, I have been allowed the opportunity to serve my community various times. Now I am not going to lie, there was some times where I dreaded waking up early on a Saturday morning to help out with whatever project I had. This took some getting used to; however, the more I volunteered, the more my perspective shifted. I took on various community service projects where I made myself realize how different people are.

I believe that giving back to the community is one of the most important things a person must do. After I graduate with my degree in aerospace engineer, I plan to go back and help not only my community; I will help this whole nation to build next generation advanced airplanes. You see, nowadays aerospace industry are so well and lots of things are improving but still there is been some crashes and people are dying. In order to fix these kinds of problem, I would join NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Lots of improvement in the airplane comes from NASA. This way I would get the chance to serve my community and county. These are the very same people I grew up with. Who took care of me while my parents were at work by babysitting

A time that I participated in community service that changed my outlook on a social issue was when I took part in a soup kitchen with my sister at our church. Being able to see how considerably those less fortunate valued such a simple meal made me realize how to be appreciative of what I already have, and how to focus on being content with my life. Ever since my experiences with volunteering I came to the conclusion that I have the power to use what I have to provide to those who need my aid, and moreover, I made the decision to get my Master's in psych so that I will have all of the tools I need to help others whenever

I have been fortunate enough to live my entire life in the city of Brentwood, TN. A lot of stereotypes come to mind when telling people where I live my everyday life. Such as, money, spoiled kids, nice cars, selfishness, and many others. Every so often you find those people who don’t care about what kind of car they drive, or what brand they’re wearing. Although this type of community surrounds me every day, I have always chosen to give back. Giving back to the community is one of my favorite things to do. Not only do I give back to the community, but I also help with big organizations worldwide. I have been working with a service group since I was in the 10th grade. Every year 8,000 is raised to make one boy or girls wish come true. This is

Since my Freshman year I have done many things that I think were good for the community and myself. For example my church has always given me opportunities to help out. I have done many things for them which has made my experience so great here. Every time I have a chance to help out i do it whether it be feeding the homeless,helping out at fundraisers, or retreats. I started to get more involved during 9th grade because that's when catechism started and it started to interest me more than it used to. I never knew how much help I could be until they showed me what I could do. I started out by going to feed the homeless with my church members and family. Overall it has been great experiences for me since then. I try to go as often as I can because there's people who rely on what they get

Winston Churchill once stated that, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." This quote suggests how one should view and understand his influence towards their community. The impact is not simply made by receiving, but it is what one is willing to give back to his community. Churchill stated this quote to get the public to serve back into their community. In regards to the quote, I have given back to my community by sharing my time and services to my church, my school, and organizations that I volunteer which has allowed me to develop as an individual.

I believe that being successful comes with a great responsibility of giving back to the community. I have served as the secretary of St.Vincent de paul youth society - a nonprofit organization that provides direct assistance to anyone suffering or in need. The unique experience during my service has helped me develop leadership

The very first community service I had was in Theodore Payne Foundation. In 9th grade, my sister had a good opportunity to learn about this foundation at school. TPF is a non-profit organization that strives to preserve California native plants. Because our family all enjoyed planting and gardening, we decided to try volunteering there. We first thought we would only do plant/garden related jobs; however, we not only worked on weeding and planting, but also organized the shop or contributed in stapling and distributing the pamphlets. I am currently still volunteering there and I am exited to learn more about different types of native plants and skills in gardening.
