Personal Narrative: Why I Volunteer To Work

I volunteered at Masonic Homes of California which is a senior living community. When I first started to volunteer I actually thought that my whole time would be spent just making copies and doing small miscellaneous tasks in the office; however, I was wrong to believe that. I did not just spend my time making copies, I got to do different tasks which made the time pass. By volunteering here I was able to meet new colleagues and I was able to network. The most important thing that I learned from my internship that I can use in daily life is to make sure that I get relevant experience in all fields that I am interested in pursuing. Without the experience it would be hard for me to accomplish what I am aiming for. The main connection I could say that I made is that I was able to realize

Christian service is the service of a Christian, it is the action of helping and doing work for other people in the character of a servant. Which also can be understood serving other people willingly and cheerfully with all your spirit and soul. Christian service includes practical involvement in poor countries and help people who is suffering.

When my aunt asked if I wanted to help at the nursing home, I mainly went because I was bored. When I arrived, I helped the residents play bingo and I even painted a few nails. Even though it does not sound like a lot, I realized on that day how much I loved helping others and how I couldn’t wait to volunteer again.

Every Summer, I volunteer with the CCD organization in my town which educates children about their religion. Since I graduated from the program, I thought it would be nice to give back to those who also wanted to know more about their religion. When I was there I assisted with classes, organized paperwork, and watched the kids during recess. One day I saw a little girl sitting on the playground crying, and I walked over to her to find out what happened. It turns out she had failed first grade and had to retake it again. She told me that her parents had moved to the United States from Spain and her grades were bad because she knew little English. She couldn’t get a tutor because her family didn't have enough money and bilingual tutors were too

We Three Kings Daycare was the venue in which I chose to complete my field work. Luckily for me, my mom is one of the employees and so gaining access, setting up a theme, date, and time was one of the easier aspects of this project. The group, my mom, is typically responsible for ranges from 8-11 children ages six through eight. Due to the slightly older age group I was working with. I forego beginning with a song partly because I could not find anything relatable to my theme, and also because I planned on doing my story time after they had come in from playing outside. I figured outdoor play would be enough exertion to keep the jitters at bay. Gathering everyone in a circle, I introduced myself and had everyone go around and tell me their

My hands-on volunteer work with A Broader View Volunteers has left the greatest impression on my view of healthcare. Throughout my three-week stay, I worked in local clinics and hospitals in La Ceiba, Honduras. In Honduras, the quality of and the access to health care and education are directly linked to income and the limited support from the government. Several of my patients were continuously treated for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. I was frustrated and wished that I had time to educate patients about preventative care measures and disseminate the importance of a healthy lifestyle, such as eating right and exercising. As a child, I too did not always have access to sufficient healthcare due to my single mother’s financial situation at the time, and we were often without insurance. I remember times when we would skip follow-up appointments and purchase

One day, while I was doing a hike with a group of cub scouts on the Rail Trail, I had come out to see the Milford Conservation Commission running their annual Ghost Train Race. I waited for all the scouts to get picked up and then I was ready to leave myself. When I looked over to the race, the finish line was in disarray, wind blowing tents over and papers everywhere, warm fire meant to keep the racer’s body temperature up was dying, and a constant struggle to keep up with the incoming racers. Knowing a representative from the Milford Conservation Commision, I decided to go help with the chaos I saw before me. Feeling the stabbing of thorns as I jumped into the bushes after papers and the constant panting from finished

Almost every job requires steady focus to get your work done. If you're a copywriter, you have a deadline to meet whether or not you're "in the mood" to write the salesletter. If you're an accountant, you have to make sure all the numbers balance. It doesn't matter if you just had a messy break-up with your significant other. It just has to get done.

I worked by myself for the most part, and was given tasks by either Tom Kelly or Eric Dykeman. I was given access to everything that Tom would tell me to do, and that includes seeing billing info, and on the bills I would you tell the company how much they owe the Chamber in dues, I also was to see why they left and complaints that they had. With Eric I would be given tasks like making schedules, finding people to contact for meeting, and to organize how the meeting was going to plan out. Almost every day was different, and there was always something to get done or to visit. I traveled with Eric a lot to the town of Braintree where there would be meeting, and I also traveled to see where they are trying to build more infrastructure. I would

I believe you can achieve anything you want in life with hard work, dedication, and passion. There are many experiences I have gone through that have helped shaped who I am today. I may not have control over certain situations, but I have a choice on how it affects me.

As I stare at the crowd a sense of sorrow and fulfillment fill my body. While these two feelings oppose each other they are the feelings that arise when I volunteer to help others. Watching these people, many homeless, flocking to us for their first full meal in a couple of days. These people fight daily for a spot in the homeless shelter across the street and a warm meal. The feeling I receive from helping others is positively indescribable, and has provided me more perspective on life than any other activity I have participated in. Over the course of my high school career, I have been involved with three amazing volunteering organizations.

I used cooperating with others to stay physically and emotionally safe for example i was cooperating with my partner and telling him to slow down or if the rope was to lose tell me so i can speed up. But when we were getting started to climb my partner didn't know how to belay so i used cooperating with others and told him how to do it so me and im can be safe. When i used cooperating with others i knew it would of work because i knew that some time or some place that my partner would forget the installations or forget how to belay.

In a small village like Carey, Ohio, community means involvement in your area, caring for those around you, and sharing a second family. In Carey, we have several clubs and organizations to take part in, ranging from athletics, community service, and clubs that are purely about having fun and getting involved. While in high school I have been active in many of these beneficial programs. I am an active member in twelve programs we have here at Carey. These programs include band, Future Farmers of America (FFA), National Honor Society (NHS), student council, track and field, art club, spanish club, quiz bowl, musical, drama club, and the wrestling stats team. Being involved has opened so many doors for me and I have learned so much.
