This summer I will be going to latin America through a non-profit organization called Amigos de las Americas.

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.

A little over a year ago, I had to make the decision of choosing between two different trips. I could either go to Spain with the Spanish class and see all that the country has to offer, or I could visit Haiti with the church and give my time to help out around their community. Many factors weighed in on my decision, but in the end, I chose to travel to Haiti!

While I may not have completed much community service, I act out of genuine passion and self-interest rather than anything else. I see little reason to volunteer for a group or cause I have no interest in. However, I do enjoy helping others in subjects I quite enjoy like computer science and programming. The Harrington Park School STEM Camp gave me an opportunity to teach elementary school children about programming, an opportunity I would take again and will take again this winter. Tutoring volunteer work under the

I am a member of National Honor Society. We volunteer and help people in anyway we can. So far I have about 20 hrs of community service. I helped my teacher moved everything in his class during the summer. I helped an old woman raked leaves in her backyard. I volunteered to assist my high school's registration. I lend a hand to elementary school children and basically played and watched them. I assisted a youth wrestling tournament. There are many more services in which I hoped to help out.

My family and I always try to serve the community where we can. When we lived in Colorado, I would volunteer at the Denver Children’s Home, preparing and serving meals to the abused and neglected kids that lived there. I also visited them again when I went back to CO this summer. More locally, I regularly volunteer at Living Hope Community Church in their cafe and nursery, serving coffee and supervising visitors’ children. My heart has always gone out to the less fortunate, and I find it hard to pass someone in need without helping.

Service in the school and community is an insight to your character and work ethic. I have over 20 hours of community service from many different experiences. Last summer I worked for Camp Barakel, a summer camp, in the kitchen. I assisted in serving food and cleaning. I learned discipline and teamwork through this valuable experience. Not only this I’ve worked with the Elderly in Rehabilitation centers and the patience and nurturing qualities is something that will forever be valuable in my life. Last but not least working as Big Sister or Buddy to a 4th grade girl has given me the chance to positively impact and influence her life as simply as having a friend is immense. All of these service opportunities as added to my character and prepared me for the responsibilities of

As surprising as it may sound, I have been doing community service since the sixth grade and it is a new experience each time. It all began with a community clean up known as 'Keep McAllen Beautiful' as we got there everyone seemed excited to be there. It was beautiful to see such unity inside of my community, and I decided from then on that I would like continue helping out where it is needed. As I joined the National Honor Society my chances of providing my services increased, and I decided that I would assume a position of leadership when needed. I became the society's president, which allowed me to develop my time management skills, creativity, and efficiency. I organized an fundraiser for the hurricane Harvey disaster victims where all

I do believe that going to a college preparatory high school has given me the opportunity to prepare myself for the next level of my education more that most other students. Many of my classes are discussion based and seminar type classes which has helped me develop views and beliefs in a much more in depth manner. I also believe that the lessons I have learned through my 4 years of high school football have prepared me for the mental aspect of college. Two-a-Days in the Texas heat will always be one thing I remember as the hardest thing that I've ever done. Because of this I feel that I have more mental toughness than the average college freshman. An under appreciated leadership aspect from my resume in my opinion is my Globetrek Trip to Peru.

To get things started, I have good experience with my service. Last Summer I volunteered at the Salomon Trail Running Festival, which was at Pineland Farms. I worked with GNG Patriots Football, and served food to all of the runners that had finished the race. It felt good to congratulate the runners, and do a good deed by feeding hundreds of people. I also was a volunteer/teacher at The KJS Boost Program

I have been a part of different activities for my community service. I have helped the TLC preschool afterschool with cleaning tables and toys once all the children have gone home. I have also been to the shelly baird school where they disabled kids go for schooling and helped out there with the students doing their work and played games .I am currently in “Dude Be Nice Club” and recently we participated in project night night where we would gather donated security blankets a book or stuffed animal and deliver them to children who have very little in homeless shelters. My community service in this case helped me realize that there are people out there who need some encouragement to help them get back on their feet and realize in life that

According to the Guardian, the historical monument in Peru (Machu Picchu) is under tight surveillance due to a sexual fetish of "streaking" around the monuments vicinity. The site is known to survive many catastrophes yet they believe the act of "streaking" to be something much more threatful. "It has survived five centuries of conquest, earthquakes, landslides and mass tourism. But Peruvian authorities fear that Machu Picchu is facing a new threat: streakers" (pg. 1). The Peruvian authorities felt that it was ruining their beautiful heritage because nothing out of the ordinary is allowed in the monument. Although the tourists were streaking around the monument, they had no right to take photos or videos because it's forbidden in Machu Picchu.

Culture is the aquired knowledge that people use to interpret, experience, and generate social behavior.

From an early age, I had the desire to give back to my community. This desire was likely instilled in me by my mother, who as a school teacher, went to great lengths to help her students achieve academically. To better do this, she created at Tupelo Middle School in Mississippi, the Mermaids and Argonauts Program, which allowed students to travel on extended school trips to locations where they were able to have hands-on experiences at zoos, science labs, colleges, museums, and more across the country. As her child, I was able to tag along on many of these trips, which fueled my desire to learn about and interact with my environment. It left me with the great hope that someday I would be able to have such experiences abroad, in order to better learn about the people and cultures with which I interact. For this reason, I hope to study abroad this summer in Pachuca, Mexico.
