My Experience At The Salvation Army Doveton Community Support Services

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.

Living in a strongly religious community, I was given many opportunities to provide service to fellow church members and also under privileged youth of the community. When I began high school I was given the opportunity to become a counselor during Vacation Bible School and

I'd say probably getting to know Isaac (Fastened). When I joined, he was the Administrator. I had applied for Helper, and he and I chatted for a little bit. I remember being out of town on my phone, when he told me that I had been accepted. I didn't have a computer, so for about three days I stayed up all night smiling about how I was going to come home to warm welcomes from the staff

I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.

What do you think when you hear the word Salvation Army? Red kettles, donating clothes, helping the homeless?. These are all part of the Salvation Army but there is so much more to it. As one of the oldest and largest organizations in the world , the Salvation Army formed from a church in 1865 . There plan was simple, share the gospel of

Looking back on the past few weeks of practicum, there have been many opportunities for personal reflection and connection between my placement and the course work. To describe my role, I am placed in the Outreach and Advocacy program at Chimo Community Services. From what I understand so far, I will have a few clients each day that come in with different issues. We assist them in navigating these issues an advocating for them when necessary. For example, some clients will come in with limited English proficiencies or disabilities and will need assistance filling out forms. Other times, clients need assistance navigating complicated government and structural applications like Canada Pension Plan, BC Housing, and Income Assistance.

The day I went in for volunteering, I was positioned as a phone attendant answering phone calls to anyone who had questions about YMCA, I was given a packet of information to be able to answer those questions. I answered my first call and was able to successfully help the person with their question but I did not enjoy this position as much because it felt more like work than volunteering. After

Individual and expert advancement helps to expel the negative contemplations that keep us from making strides towards self-change. We frequently kick back and sit tight for a yearly execution audit to distinguish regions we have to make strides. Position ourselves to be responsible, enhance our range of abilities, and ceaselessly learn by setting individual benchmarks and checking on them routinely are some of the key elements of success. Learning prompts a superior personal satisfaction, increases certainty and self-awareness, and impacts our life emphatically. Here are a few ways with which one can take control, enhance one’s notoriety and execution at work, and achieve new ability levels

As a part of curriculum, every student of my high school has to do 100 hours to community service before they graduate. Every student is assigned to a social service organization. In the same way, I was assigned to work at St. Xavier’s Social Service Center whose primary target was to help children who lost their parents during civil war. I still remember the first day of my social service. As soon as I entered the social service center, I was in a huge hall where more than 30 children were studying. The hall had nothing but a thin carpet. Everyone was so surprised to see a new face. I introduced myself and said that I was there to help them with their studies. After few minutes of ice breaker, everyone continued with their works.

As a student, I have become more aware of the needs of my community. I have always worked at being active in my community to help those in need. Most of my volunteer work revolved around collecting donations and lending a helping hand at shelters. My volunteer work did not usually involve an academic base. I was not concerned with the ins and outs of why homelessness was a problem or the difficulty women faced finding assistance to escape abusive relationships. I just knew the shelters were always in need of donations and that is where I found myself helping most. In this paper, I will describe a personal experience I have had with service learning. I will also select one service learning idea from the National Student Nurses’ Association planning guideline that interests me and describe how this type of experience will enhance my nursing student experience.
