My Last Dollar Analysis

Poverty has many faces in different regions of the world. Poverty is not just the lack of money to buy food or cloth but it is intervened to our life’s in different ways. The video “living on One Dollar” I watched recently has made me to think about different aspects of poverty among Guatemalan people. The video show us the experiences of four students who came to live in Pena Blanca as part of the research. This video clearly explains that poverty is such a complex social issue and it is multifaceted. Living in poverty in Pena Blanca is totally different from poverty in our societies. In today’s

Commutronics had not accumulated enough profits and had no sufficient capital reserves. The company’s registered capital was therefore very low. The withholding tax rate of

I have done many nice thing over my 18 years of being alive. The one thing that I have done that I would consider to be my nicest thing was spending time with one of my campers at my Summer camp that I work at Over the Summer. I am a summer camp counselor at my local Boy Scout camp. I have worked there for over five years now. I have earned my Eagle Scout during my time on this camp staff. I learned many skills through this job. The one skill that I learned was the ability to work with a homesick camper. This skill was helpful when one day I saw a kid sitting by himself. I went over and discovered that the boy was crying. I sat down with him and asked him his name and what was the matter. He wouldn't respond to me because he was too homesick

Sometimes in life you don't understand what you have until you see others who don't. I was with my family in Honduras, which is a very poor country. As we drove to my abuela's house on the side of the road hundreds of people were living in tiny huts even what appeared to be cardboard boxes. I learned that I benefit from giving back.

We set out flyers in our high school in October which got us a lot of donations for Thanksgiving.We donated those items to the homeless shelter at the city over. However, when we ended our last drive in the second semester, I found myself driving to the homeless shelter with the donations in my car yet again, but then I spotted a homeless woman sitting a curb with only a sign. At that moment, I decided to that instead of simply giving these away to a random shelter, I will give to those in my own community. I pulled over and took out a couple of cans from the trunk, I hand it to her and she was so happy. Though this wouldn’t be the safest option, it the felt the helpful one. I gave out my donations to homeless people in my community for almost a month till the donations ran

You might actuallybe gratified by the product/service you're procuring, but there's no reason to pay wanton extras or be burdened with appended purchases. If you just attend to bills presented to you without giving much thought to the itemized charges, you might be paying for things you’re not even aware of.

The feeling I get when a good deed is done by myself is enough to keep me from sadness. Even when that isn't enough for me I am overwhelmed with the happiness of seeing a smile on someone else's face that I provide for them. When I can live the rest of my days providing happiness and joy for others and being able to see their smile and hear their laughs I am in a state of euphoria.

Times I was proud of me was when I helped my neighbor pick up his sticks for him and racked his leaves while he was in the hospital.

There is one time in my life where I truly believe I have shown the most integrity. One day was at the store shopping with my mom and I decided to stay behind in the car while she walked around. A few minutes later I got bored and I decided to go find her. As I was walking into a store I noticed one woman sitting on the sidewalk looking as sad as can be. I knew she needed help but I didn’t know whether I should just walk past her and smile or if I should find help. I have always been told to stay away from strangers but something about this situation made me feel obligated to help her. The minute I walked in the store I knew I was making a bad choice and I turned around to go speak to her. When I saw her I said hello and asked her if she was okay. She looked tired and unwell and told me no. I asked her if there is any way I can help and she said she only wants someone to talk to. I sat down beside her indicating that i’m here to listen and she started to tell me how she was homeless and just got out of the hospital and had nowhere to go. She told me that she was very ill and has to sleep in the woods everyday. I was so sad to hear what she had gone through and I honestly couldn't believe what I heard. That's when I took out my $50 that my dad gave me for spending money and gave it to her becuase I knew she neded it more then I did then I offered to let her use my phone to call someone to come get her and she said that would be great. She ended up calling her son and I sat

But because of a few people with big hearts, that is now in our past. I told myself from that day on that I will always find a way to help the one in need. It feels give good to give back to the ones who are less fortunate than I. Today I am even helping the woman try to get my city to rebuild some broke down apartments and rebuild a homeless center. I have even helped start a recycling program and it makes me feel more amazing than receiving an "A" in a class at school. You always have to remember "No matter how tough your life is going there will always be someone who has it even tougher." Although people may not think they are lazy, but everyone needs to begin to realize the importance of volunteer work and start working for the good of the world. Volunteer work can greatly affect everyone's day to day living. Although doing volunteer work may seem like hard work and not very enjoyable to others, there are many benefits to volunteering like; strengthening communities, improving lives, and connecting with others. Giving back is taking your own time to help the people around you and to ensure that this world can live in harmony for decades to come. Most would agree, it may not be fun for many but it provides you with a great feeling that you continue to

Despite the euphoria gained from knowing I made an impact on someone’s life, I learned many lessons. Obviously don’t make the mistakes they told me about, but more important ones like: life is precious and it can be drastically changed in a few small decisions, no matter what economic state someone may be in they are still human, and conversation is a very effective catalyst for change. The service we did on one day will not significantly improve anyone’s life or fix homeless or poverty, repetition is necessary to make lasting change. This experience had an immediate effect on me by showing me that I need to serve more often and that it can be enjoyable, service is not a “forced duty”. This service opportunity made a lasting effect on me by teaching me numerous lessons and encouraging me to participate in more service in the

People believe that focusing on planning their future by retirement save and give them a brighter and safer financially secure life. Instead, why don't they change the way they think and come up with creative ideas and ways with kind of work that they would never want to retire from.

I have shown humility by donating coloring books and crayons for emergency foster kids. Emergency foster kids are kids who have had to be taken from their home for some reason. These kids have about 5 minutes to get their things together and leave their house. Things are often forgotten like socks, books, personal care items, toys, etc. I helped these kids by participating in a drive to donate things that are often forgotten. These kids are often scared so in donating coloring books I was able to bring joy into kid’s lives that I will never meet, and let them know that people care for them. Besides helping emergency foster kids, I was also able to help my local soup kitchen by donating tortillas. They had received donations of beans, ground
