My Father 's House Foundation

Throughout my undergraduate career at the University of South Carolina, I continually found myself drawn to internship opportunities

Besides graduating from college, being accepted into the Counseling program at NOVA Southeastern University was the greatest day of my life. I was on my way to a much greater success by working on my Master. Paying for college out of pocket was a struggle, but I understand that success comes with great sacrifices. However, I wouldn’t really call paying out of pocket for school a sacrifice, but rather an investment in my future and my family. My first semester went marvelous. I was motivated and enthusiastic about the courses. I must admit graduate school is much harder than I imagine, but I manage to make time for studying and ended making A’s in both of my classes, which I didn’t expect less than that. When the summer semester I arrived, I was as excited and motivated as my very first semester, aiming to make nothing less than an A grades. However, unexpectedly my world seemed to have turned upside down in a matter of time. My mother and I decided to take a week to go

I want to pursue a career in Human Services because this is where my calling is. When graduation got closer and closer teachers, staff, and students asked “Where are you going from here? What is the overall goal?” I told them that I was going to Cazenovia College to study Human Services and that my overall goal was to become a medical Social Worker in a hospital and be placed on cases with children. Once I told them this they all said I was going in the right direction and that I would be perfect for the job. I believe I can do this job and be successful because my childhood life and financial situation, being assaulted, and all the community service I have completed and awards I have received

The first organization that was brought to my attention is Al’s Pals. I love the impact you can make on children's lives. It doesn’t matter if you are a mentor or helping them with their work, you will be that positive impact and influence in that child's life. All I have ever wanted to do is to be a positive influence and impact the lives of children. I hope that I get the opportunity to join Al’s Pals and have an impact on the Tuscaloosa community.

For my twelve service hours, I decided to dedicate my time to one organization. That organization is known as College Mentors for Kids. College Mentors for Kids is a program specifically designed for elementary and college aged students. It is a nonprofit organization that works with over 2,000 students and mentors one day a week on a college campus. This program can be found throughout nine states and on 33 different college campuses. I am fortunate enough to be attending Ball State University, which is home to the largest chapter in the country for the program. The program’s main focus is to acknowledge the importance of higher education and career growth as you get older. There are a variety of ways the members of this organization accomplish

As a first generation college student in my family, it has been an enriching experience attending Wake Technical Community College. I have learned a lot about myself, and why I love pursuing my education. I have experienced diversity, and a passion for lifelong learning. I am very proud to say that I will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Early Childhood, and I am very excited for the next chapter in my life. I hope that next chapter will be attending Meredith College to pursue a bachelor's in Child Development, so that I can change the lives of many children. It is my career goal to help children pursue their dreams of a higher education, and Meredith can provide a learning environment to contribute to that dream. Since I’m the first

I contemplated taking a semester off to have my child and reprioritize my life. However, after speaking my faculty mentor, I received the encouragement I needed to pushed forward and complete my degree. Sadly, I made the ultimate decision to postpone my journey to medical school to care for my family. After graduation, I decided to join the workforce to support my family. As a recent college graduate, I experienced difficulties obtaining employment and this was very discouraging, especially since I was caring for two young individuals. Eventually, I obtained a full-time position at a local community college and have been there for about six years educating minds to achieve their educational

Having the desire to begin a career in psychology I searched far and wide to secure an internship as close to counseling as I could. Since counseling is so delicate when it comes confidentiality it was going to be almost impossible to get a real experience out of an internship here. As I was told by my favorite teacher in high school, Mr. O’Shea, “every good manager has a backup.” The next plan was to pursue an internship in my future minor in college which is music production.

Today I fully believe that it is well within my capabilities to attend a four year college, and even be a source of support for my peers. I have also applied to be a student counselor for this year’s Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College This was a direct result of the knowledge I learned at SUNY Orange and its affiliated programs. I have received excellent grades, but more importantly, I became a student leader and helped the younger students in the

Since my transfer orientation at UCR, I was interested in getting involved with the Chicano students Program. It was the main organization that I felt connected to. Fortunately I had the opportunity to intern at CSP, it has been one of the greatest experience of my collage years. I am so proud of my self of getting out there and doing something for our college campus. This quarter I discovered skills that I had hidden, before this internship I didn’t now some skills that I had hidden. I have always been and introvert student but was hoping to get my extrovert side and have learned that I do have it. I am proud to say that Spring 2016 internship has been one of the best experiences.

When I began at USU, I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. Those first years at USU were difficult. I moved to Logan with only a few hundred dollars in savings, no financial assistance from my family, and a stubborn resolve to make things work. Pell grants and financial aid made my education possible, and so I tried to give back where possible. For two years I volunteered in a leadership role with SNAC, the Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC) at USU. SNAC offered nutrition services and food assistance to struggling students. Although our services were limited, we helped our fellow students

I entered Stony Brook University in 2009 as a psychology major. Quickly, I found myself sitting through courses that were monotony, eventually causing my grades to fall. Junior year I sought out an internship in a field related to helping others. During the summer of 2012, I was given the opportunity to intern for an Early Intervention agency named Los Niños. My summer was spent assisting a speech-language pathologist as she worked with nonverbal children.

I am a single mother of two beautiful children--a young adult son and soon to be teen daughter. While both have different personalities, they still have some things in common, they are my pride and joy. Currently, I am a senior here at Liberty University, seeking an undergraduate degree in Psychology, Christian Counseling, with a degree completion in early 2018. Subsequently, continuing my graduate cognate in Psychology, Health and Wellness. My educational pursuit began when I was seeking to grow my former preschool center into a larger professional entity, but business growth plans were put to a complete halt, upon learning that I needed other educational credentials. Consequently, for this PSYC-499 internship course, I will be working at

The program gave me the opportunity to intern at the Window of Educational Opportunities (WEO), a place that has enabled me to growth in every possible way. The WEO is part of an initiative that raises awareness on how crucial educational attainment is to the socioeconomic progress of individuals. Being part of the WEO has allowed me to realize that there is a lot of talent in our community. Our people have the potential to do great things, but they do not have the information and tools they need. Many times I am confronted with the story from many of our clients that we come to this country with the mind set to work and make money forgetting about our dreams or giving up them along the way. However, there are people who truly believe in the talent we have to offer to this country and do everything they can to make that happen. At the WEO, we work to find and create more resources to connect our community to different educational opportunities. I cannot describe the personal satisfaction I get from interning at the WEO because I know that I’m contributing to the empowerment of the Mexican community. This past summer I was able to work full time at WEO. While my supervisor was away, I and two other interns managed to run the project and assisted over 50 people. From the work at my internship I want to continue all these accomplish

     This internship opened many doors leading to my future. This would not only help me academically and financially, but would also provide me with
