My Philosophy of Service

Providing service to others is one of the primary values in Human service. Human service workers acknowledge that providing service to others is their priority, it’s more important than the professional personal

Service is something that every person does in their life. I try to do as much service as I can, which means a lot of my service is in the summer or while school in on breaks. While service can be done through organizations and for well-known causes, service is also seen in everyday life. Service can be through small acts of kindness, such as, holding open the door, helping someone who’s carrying a particularly heavy load, or simply just being there when they need a shoulder to lean on. Service is about making someone day brighten with little rays of kindness and to show that someone out there definitely cares for them.

When I was asked to speak about service, the first thing I had to ponder was what exactly is service. In the world we live in today, there is so many different ways to serve those around you. Whether it is giving back to your school, local community, or even across borders the goal is always the same. Give a little piece of yourself for a greater good while expecting nothing in return.

Traylor wrote, “I can help myself by serving others” (p 109). As a Christian, service is a common theme. Jesus Himself served people by healing them, showing them kindness, and physically serving them (ex. washing his disciples’ feet). I have also found through personal experience that acts of service help me feel good (not to mention others!). But the current culture is all about serving yourself. This lesson about serving stuck out to me because I currently have a job in retail. In the retail business, customers can be rude and sometimes get a little violent when they don’t immediately get what they want. There are some nice customers, but there are customers who follow the culture as

Service is any contributions one makes in a community without expecting anything in return. It is where you help just to help, not to show off or anything of that sort. It giving not receiving. I provide Service in school and in my community. In school, I help kids who need help on homework, little kid who need help getting to places around the school, to tying shoes, helping teachers who need doors decorate, papers printed, etc. In my community, I contribute by participating in “Toys for Tots,” can food drive, being a speaker for different programs, helping the elder walk to helping them carry their groceries. I also provide services through church programs at my church such as reading in Mass, helping with the youth groups, and

To me “Not To be served, but to serve” means to put others needs before your own. Service seems to almost be necessary once someone appreciates all that has been done for them. In my case, I have already begun to give back to community which has already given me so much to me. Three years ago I joined a club called the Jr. Civitans. Junior Civitan is a student-led service organization for middle and high school students. The club has a special focus on helping people with developmental disabilities. Throughout the year, we do multiple fundraisers that benefit the special education students at my high school. Some of these events include a Haunted Forest, a Spaghetti Dinner, and a Prom Dress fashion show. The club really emphasizes the focus

Selfless service is a fundamental concept for any leader to incorporate because of the effects it has on those that lead. By placing selfless service as the priority of the organization, its gives followers the ability to focus on their own agenda first before your own. This can align goals for the subordinates to accomplish by the leader placing them first as well as an example for others to emulate. As Major General Dees highlights, this is also a quality that can be learned over

Many people today find themselves in “dead-end” jobs, or they feel like work is purposeless and frustrating. At the same time, some people figured out that work is a blessing to them. People who suffer their lives in a slavery for many years in another country, think that work is a curse because they were ruled by people. They work because they are forced by other people. Work is a blessing for most people, but for some people work is a curse because of the lack of opportunity. Work is a blessing for those who understand it. To understand that work is a blessing was one of true understanding the purpose of life. It is important because not knowing the purpose of life brought people depressed. As Honore said “I'm retired from the Army, but

Service is important to Confirmation because it serves others and also God. The Holy Spirit inspires and helps us serve others. Service is a way to give back. It is a way to be grateful for what we have and help those who have less than us. Through service we are doing God’s work by helping others. For seventh and eighth grade year, I did many different acts of service including; works of mercy, church service, community service, and liturgical experience.

“Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities” (Learn and Serve America National Service-Learning Clearinghouse). This assignment gave students the opportunity to go outside of their comfort zone, which is typically the classroom and see what the “real world” is like. As Gandhi would say “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” (Gandhi). I believe that this project really allowed us to appreciate what we have because many people are not as fortunate. During this service learning project I had certain expectations going into the project, but in the end, my results were not exactly as I expected.

By being a servant leader, I will put the needs of my employees first to ensure that my company is socially responsible through quality customer service rendered by me and employees. Since leadership is considered a critical force in producing positive outcomes in organizations through the performance of employees, it is very important to take servant leadership seriously (Grisaffe, VanMeter, Chonko 2016). My main and foremost priority as a servant leader is to serve others with real selflessness before aiming for profit. For instance, as a non-medical owner of a care

Many people don’t understand how important serving is. I have found that at some schools, serving is important and is required to graduate. Service is the action of helping or doing work for someone. Serving can help others learn more about the world and help them position into a mature adult. Although service is required sometimes, people should serve by choice. Service hours are designed to help students grow in a relationship with God as well as discovering new ways to serve and help others.
