Integration Of Your Community Service Experience With Psychological Theory And Concepts

What does community service mean? Community service, to me, means bettering the community with volunteering at local places, business, or helping the people themselves. Community services is very important due to most of the things in a community such as parks, food banks, etc. being ran/used by the community.

I helped with the veterans for my hours it was really a lot of fun they needed help with transporting them back a forth to the lunchroom and taking them to activities they really love people coming up there to see them because nobody cares if they're up there and they never go to see them. They love to see strangers faces even if they don't know you. They would love to tell you stories about how they was young and how they grew up or doing things in the military. They was this one guy he told me how his family was poor and all they had was a field of corn to their name so he wanted to go to the military and make a better life for himself and he said he killed hitler himself and that he was the one who meet george washington and queen elizabeth

Our group, which consisted of Ricardo Carrillo, Emilee Cocuzzo, Sidd Dogra, Wurood Mandawi, and Trung Ngo, worked collectively on putting on a successful bingo and bake sale night for the YMCA. We ended up raising $ to help with the teenagers of the YMCA to go on their annual college trip during the summer.

Volunteerism is a path to responsible citizenship. Volunteering is a form of generous behavior, with a goal of providing help to others, a group, an organization, a cause, or the community at large without expectation of accolades or material reward (Musick, 2008, p 3). Volunteer work encourages good citizenship. It builds trust with others and public institutions. Trusting people are more likely to get involved in leadership positions or even politics. It gets individuals involved by letting them meet a wider range of people, then learning more about local issues and legislation. Volunteer work teaches civic skills, which can then be used in the political arena, and help individuals become aware of social problems needing solutions (p 460-461).

I entered the restaurant at 7:27 pm and went straight to the restroom, someone was occupying the restaurant so I decided to get in line at 7:28 pm there was 5 customer's ahead of me in line to order. I notice a lady left the bathroom, so I exited the line for ordering and went to the restroom. The bathroom was clean, well stocked with tissue, napkins and the trash was low as if it had been emptied, there was no paper or debris on the floor and the mirror was clean with no smears. I exited the restroom and reentered the line to order at 7:30 pm. I approached the counter and Anjanetta said, "my I placed your order," I ask Anjanette for the current specials and she mention the $5.00 box and I said I would like that, she ask me what piece of meet

Imagine immigrating to a foreign country where uncertainty and unfamiliarity awaits. That was my family in October 2008 when we arrived in America as refugees, deprived of basic necessities such as food and clothing. We faced difficulties adjusting to the culture and meeting our needs. However, volunteers of all ages from different charities delivered and donated foods, clothing, and presents, and warmly welcomed us with comfort during a time of major adjustment in our lives. They guided my family in our transition as we apply for schools and jobs. Volunteering was also a rare and uncommon practice in my birth country, so the number of volunteers helping us in America made a good impression of the country to my family. As I grew up and attend high school in America, I realized the amazing and endless opportunities for young people to make a difference in other’s lives by feeding the homeless, responding to natural disasters, caring for the elderlies, cleaning the community, saving the lives of animals, and much more. Community service should be required to graduate high school because it provides essential skills, builds character, and promotes higher education for a successful life.

At 8:33 am, the alarm clock began blaring. As soon as I woke up I could feel my heart racing. As I got up slow, I found myself daydreaming hoping this place of service would close down for some strange and on reasons, I knew this wasn’t going to happen, so I drove myself out of bed with fear and excitement both at the same time.

My placement for Community Service -Learning is within a local Waterloo public school. It is located just outside the university area of Waterloo and is part of the Waterloo Region District School Board. This public school has approximately one-hundred and eighty students enrolled in Junior Kindergarten to grade six. This institution is about student achievement and well being. This school values academic standards and the growth of discipline along with creativity. Students develop a skill-set that prepares them to attend a secondary and then post-secondary path of study. Public school gives a student a foundation for learning and social involvement within the larger community.

So far I have learned and made new memories with community service.One of the obstacles that I faced during my community service experience was that I found it challenging to find time.Another obstacle that I faced was it was hard to find events and ways you could help out the community.One of my favorite events that I was a part of was the beauty pageant for girls with special needs.This event was so memorable to me because I found it so touching the way small little actions we make can make a big impact in someone's life. Something that I have gained from a person is that I think first and put myself into others shoes instead of judging them.This experience has also helped me discover my interest that I have in the future. This service will

Looking toward the next chapter of my academic career and the incredible opportunities before me, I am filled with anticipation. Anticipating the most exciting aspect of the journey -- the possibility of continuing in the graduate social work program at Boise State University (BSU).

In Maryland, 75 hours of community service are required for students to graduate. Getting in the way of many after school activities, students should not be required to have community service hours to get a diploma.

The community service I would volunteer at to be eligible to graduate would be the animal shelter. I would help the animals in need find new homes, keep the animals entertained, feed and clean them, and take care of and clean the store. I would volunteer at the animal shelter every weekday after school and sometimes on the weekends. Since I love animals so much, I would find it convenient to volunteer at an animal shelter. I would also love to help those poor animals find a new home and family so they will feel loved and adored for the rest of their life.

My Community Service Learning (CSL) placement was spent as an event planning assistant at the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), located on unceded Algonquin territory in Ottawa. The mandate of the organization is to provide national-level advocacy for First Nations policy issues in Canada, as directed by the Chiefs from across the country at bi-annual assemblies. The AFN receives its mandate from resolutions passed at these assemblies, and is accountable to over 630 First Nations, as well as urban and rural First Nations peoples, through this process (Assembly of First Nations, 2017a). My placement fell into the Social Development secretariat, which works on such topics as early learning and child care, First Nations child and

I did my community service at an elementary school called daily academy and I taught art to multiple grades. I needed a lesson plan that multiple grade groups could benefit from which lead to my research question; how can two different grade groups learn from the same lesson plan? multi-grade classrooms use lesson plans the entire class can benefit from, like the the one I created, multi grade classrooms have been around as long as the American school system has. My question came from my experience working at an after school teaching program teaching children from kindergarten to sixth grade; I had to teach multiple grade groups at a time, which lead me to creating a lesson plans that would benefit the entire class. I had to keep in mind according to my research; each student 's attention span is a minute longer than their age, the age of a student doesn’t determine their ability, and when pairing students to work together, to think about their strengths and weaknesses and be sure the exercise will benefit all students involved in each lesson. I did not have that much experience with multi-grade classrooms, it was a new concept for me to understand; I looked on many different websites for teachers who teach multi-age classrooms; on these websites I looked for multi-age lesson plans so I could get an idea on how to I would go about preparing my multi-age lesson plans for my class. Eventually I created many different lesson plans I could use in the classroom when I started my

It is often joked that beginning college is like re-entering the womb. Similar to the warm, nurturing space that was home to us for the last nine months before birth, higher education aims to prepare us for life outside, in the world. Unfortunately, college also earns this association due to what some, perhaps unfairly, dub its “coddling nature,” and the tendency of students to use their schools as a place to hide from the harsher realities of the adult world. The uncomfortable truth appears to be that these detractors are right. For many students attending classes and work, it is far too easy to lose oneself in one, the other or both. The rare free time that’s left over? A temptation to spend it on oneself usually wins out. As a consequence, students lose much of the insight they might gain from spending more time interacting directly with the society in which they live. They lose touch. I firmly feel performing community service enables one to remain grounded in purpose and place in one’s world, while working toward one’s professional degree.
