Standing in a crowd of people I never thought I would be the one to make a difference. It all started a few months back on our most recent Las Vegas trip. I stood there in shock and sadness that no one reached a hand out to help this innocent soul. I however had something else in mind. If I could pull this simple task off I could drastically change someone’s live forever.
This particular day fell on one of the busiest times of year. I remember standing in waves and waves of people trying to get to hotel to hotel to make it back to our room in one piece. It felt like we were walking forever with no end in sight. I thought to myself “what did we get ourselves into” and that question repeated in my mind like a broken record. Thoughts of laying down and watching TV fled my mind as we walked what seemed like miles.
As we approached our final

I finally decided on my words and proceed to hand her the money for the bus ride. Immediately she thanks me with extreme gratitude and tells me where she’s going and how she ended up in this situation. I told her that out of everyone here I got a special sense of truth and goodness from her which led me to give her a helping hand. It was clear that she was happy and a sense of joy came over her. I asked if I had any way to contact her to see how she’s doing months from now and she quickly gave me a email address to contact.
In the end she was able to get a bus ticket back to her home town. After contacting her via email I found out that she was a struggling musician that wound up without any money and no transportation in Las Vegas. She thanked me again and told me that her career has improved and she often preforms at the local restaurants and bars in her area. From that day forward I made a vow to myself to help others that need help. This was indeed one of the most heroic acts I’ve ever done and the memory will continue to live on for years to
VISIT LAS VEGAS — Sadie has been to Las Vegas a total of three times in her life, though all of those visits were during her childhood. This summer she would like to go vacation in Vegas and do all the fun stuff that only adults can do. Basically she just plans to be drunk the whole time.
I saw people in need in my own community and it brought to my attention all there is to do to help. Just like
Las Vegas, a city which needs to introduction anymore; the most famous gambling city in the world home to the impressive Las Vegas Strip and its luxury hotels and casino: The Bellagio and its water fountains, the Caesars Palace, the MGM Grand and much more.
In life you face many choices, many of them are small and seem meaningless, but there are some small choices that could change someone’s perspective of you. An example of this is when you see a sad person, you could go and see what is wrong, or you could just shrug it off and say it isn’t your problem. If you walk away you could lose the chance to make someone's day, or gain a new friend. People will say that you can’t do anything because you’re not the right social status or not someone who can make a change in anyone’s life. You can make an impact on anyone’s life if you try hard enough, or just maybe smile at them in the hallway as you go past them; maybe they just needed a nice person right
Whether it’s to the community, the world or to another person there is only so much that one person can do to make a difference. In the book “The Five People You Meet In Heaven” by Mitch Albom there are many people who made a difference in other people’s lives.

This lady is a jewel! With that we became friends. She asked about my family and we talked about hers. She asked about my school, and we talked about where she went. Soon, it was time for me to go and I could not believe that the time had flown by. Ms. Clara Mae seemed sleepy and tired and she told me that she normally took a nap before lunch. That was my cue that I must move on to visit the other residents in the activity/recreation area. The scent of lemon wafted over to me once again, and I realized that she had an air freshener plug in the wall nearest the window. Evidently, she did not like the smell of nursing homes either. It suddenly hit me that she could be me in the future! She had a similar story like me, she liked some of the same things I did, and she had a great sense of humor. All Ms. Clara Mae needed was someone to listen to her and a little companionship. I had learned that her family no longer visited her anymore and the only people that saw her on a routine basis was a group that came from a church once a month. How sad! I felt connected to her and it crushed me to leave her. She seemed to understand and reassured me that she knew I was busy and had lots of things to do. As I stood to walk out of the yellow room, with the one plant and no electronics, I made a pledge that I would try to be someone that she could rely on to come visit. Then I sadly realized that I would not have the opportunity to see her again until
I often think about how many lives I’ve touched throughout my own lifetime. Of course, the first to surface in my mind include things such as those who have smiled with their stomachs full after I’ve served food to them at soup kitchens, or the children that wear my old winter clothing I donated during the brisk winter months of upstate New York. What always seems to be overlooked are the most important ways you touch others; not by donating money or handing out free sandwiches to the needy, but rather by purely existing in the simplest of ways.
I belong in a community that's diverse and full of different cultures, personalities, and walks of life. I love learning from others, as every person has a new and different perspective. These perspectives open people up to thousands of new opportunities. My footprint, the mark I'm leaving on the world, may seem minuscule in comparison to Abraham Lincoln's or Ghandi's, but to someone it will change the world. Not only have I affected every life I've encountered, one way or another, but even the small changes I want to make on this planet will make the biggest difference in at least one person's life. Changing one life, even the slightest bit for the better, is all I could ask
A few weeks after her death I walked passed her mother and big brother. My knees went weak like I just stood through an earthquake and my heart stopped beating. Her mother politely asked how I’ve been keeping in a friendly way I said “I’m okay” but deep down I wasn’t. She told me how things have been really tough but she was starting to manage and handle things a bit better. I could tell that her mother was broken inside and so was I. She managed to force a smile as she said goodbye.
While she was replying I was thinking to myself, how grateful I am to have these amazing people in my life. I’m truly grateful that nothing super severe in the end happened. I need to keep these people in my life.
When I walk around this city, I see people trying to make it by on the street, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. For the past five years, I’ve dedicated my birthdays to volunteer work – a couple of friends and I hold a lemonade stand, where we raise funds for the shelter, and I accept only gifts of canned food for people who suffer from homelessness. It was a simple thought that has made a big difference in my life, and I hope, someone else’s life. This sympathy for people living in tough situations translated into a little fundraiser, which turned into a yearly tradition. Helping people this way has really inspired me: since, I have volunteered with the Homeless Shelter and other organizations, and I hope it has contributed to making me a more compassionate individual. A quick idea has easily morphed into a cherished ritual, and that alone should demonstrate the impact community service can have on your life.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to do something significant make an impact in the world. Wanting to make an enormous impact on the world, change lives make a difference. As a child, I felt, everything seemed easy, the world was at my disposal that I could achieve and be anything. Unfortunately the reality was not as simple as I imagined.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Much like Gandhi, I aspire to have a positive impact on the world although through friendly conversation, holding the door open for others, or running an errand for a friend in need. Through these actions, I immediately begin to see their bright faces glimmer with gratitude. Another step involves organizing Books for Africa, a program that supports the social and economic development of numerous African countries. My priority in this position is to reinforce the people I lead because I know they 're influenced by my actions.
For this service learning project I choose to volunteer at a hospital. I went to St. Joe's Hospital on a floor called Select Specialty Hospital. On Select’s floor, they have patients that are in severe condition and most people that help out at that hospital cannot go on that floor. In my case, my mom works on that floor so I was able to be on the floor. For the first hour, some of the nurses and nurse aids gave me a tour around the floor. They showed me all of the different rooms, all the medical devices, medicine, and they answered any of my unsolved questions. After that, for the last 2 hours I went into patients rooms and took them their food. Then when they finished, I would take those empty trays to the kitchen, where I washed and refilled them with food. I admit that it was a challenge, but I did not regret a single bit of it because it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the people on that floor are unable to help themselves and if someone reached out to them with a kind gesture it would make their day. Personally, if I was in there position I would deeply appreciate it if someone took the time out of their day and helped someone out that they don’t know. It is easy to donate money to organizations that help people, but it’s different to actually get up and go help that person face to face instead of waiting for
