Personal Narrative: Working At A Rock-Climbing Wall

Whilst I was at placement I have taken part in a lot of activities. Some of these have needed me to tell the children how to work safely. One of the activities that I had to do this was when they were using the scissors. I assisted in an activity where they had to make poppies.

One of my first volunteering positions growing up was at a local elementary school assisting children in core math and reading subjects. Not only did I help the students but I also helped the teacher with grading and developing new assignments. This experience gave me great insight into how one can effectively explain education materials to young children.

I have helped out at the Science Works Night at Oak Ridge Elementary. I have helped at Sartell’s spring Funfest. I have done roadside clean up along River road. The road side clean up was a nice experience to be able to be to help clean up our community and help the environment.

I worked for twelve hours at a phone bank calling voters to promote passage of Measure J. This was the second time I have done that for a Sonoma County initiative. Volunteering for the phone bank, I already knew what to expect (lists of phone numbers and names, scripts to use, and the people I would mostly be talking to, provided they answered the phone.) This was more than an assignment for me, however. This is something I feel truly passionate about because I use these parks regularly.

Assisted young children between the grades of preschool to 8th grade in their education. I decided to volunteer because the children of today will be the children of the future and the more smart and educated they are the better they will be in the future. Another reason I helped was because it is hard for young children to adapt to the lifestyle of constantly moving from one place to another. Since their parents are migrants it can have a negative impact on them and their education. I remember one little girl is from Florida but every summer her parents move up to Michigan to work in the fields, but once the harvest is over they move back to Florida. She was behind in school and with the help of teachers and myself we motivated and helped her out so she was able to catch up. I really enjoyed volunteering the past two summers ago at the summer migrant program. If I had another opportunity to help I

During my high school years as secretary, I was in charge of brainstorming ideas of things to do. It also involved getting everyone organized and ready to vote for things. I helped out with the Haunted Trail for SGA here at Rich Mountain Community College. Additionally, I helped put the makeup on other people, entertained children, and I helped with the games. It was a wonderful experience getting to see the children’s faces and just helping out

I mainly did these volunteer service hours during my time in high school and some others in grade school that I can’t quite remember. For my first three years in high school each student had to get a certain amount of service hours. For all three years I chose Merrimac Park for the location I would choose. It was close to me and I went there often. My first year I simply walked around the park and picked up all the trash I spotted. The second year I did this but then I also asked if they would let me help in the park house as well. They said yes so whenever I came I would sweep the floors of both the hallways and the gym. The third year I was once again looking to do a little more so I offered my services as a score board operator for the youth flag football league I had once been a part of at the park. I knew the person in charge of the athletic programs at the park so he agreed. I was even allowed to ref a few games because I know the basic rules having been in the league and also playing football myself in high school. I think that year was my favorite out of the three. I loved cleaning the park but adding on the role to help out the flag football league was a blast. It was something that at the time I was passionate about and had a close tie with. To be able to help was truly an honor and made me glad I was able to volunteer my time at the

Throughout this experience i learned more about myself than i thought possible. But during the volunteer hours that i performed, i completely broke out of my quiet shell. When i started my journey off at a children's sports and adventure camp, it helped me to become a leader, as well as a facilitator. I had to organize, and instruct activities daily. This helped me to become a problem solver as well as a communicator beause of the fact that in dealing with children, youll always run into some delema that youll have to deal with.

The first place I volunteered at was Feed My Starving Children. Feed My Starving Children is an organization that makes nutritional meals for malnourished children. The meals are called MannaPacks and they are packed with rice, soy, dried vegetables, and flavoring. Each station has to measure the ingredients into the bags, weight the bag, then seal the bag. My role was sealing the bags and putting them in a box; and I did that for two hours. My volunteering and the volunteering of others really helped out because 27,000 meals were packed in our shift, which feeds 74 kids for a year. The other two hours that I did, I helped the staff clean up and take everything down. I benefited from this experience because I actually felt like I somewhat

I have volunteered our local chart choose around my neighborhood that have partnered up with the Houston food Bank . Once a month on a Saturday the Houston food Bank sends a truck full of food and the church distributes the food to people in need around the neighborhood. I along with others would work behind the scenes and package all the food into a box and prepare for it to be distributed. Volunteering for this cause was super fulfilling. Regardless the hot weather I would wear again I knew that it was going to such a good cause. Just imagining a family who would otherwise struggle to have a meal to eat would now have a whole feast f have a whole feast ready on their table for their families.

During the months of June and July, I volunteered at the Gene Rodenberry Planetarium in El Paso, TX. Working as a Volunteer Leader during planetarium events (both indoor and on various locations in the El Paso region). I have actually volunteered at the Gene Rodenberry Planetarium for about 2 years, and every day I was able to learn something not only about the universe but also on how to improve myself as a leader.

This job also gives me a chance to impact the lives of the campers I am working with. I am doing this by helping them have the experiences and memories every child deserves. They are learning social behaviors and how to interact and build relationships. This camp gives these kids a sense of normalcy and fun. I have built relationships with children who had started off not liking me but by the end of a week of camp they are comfortable and have fun with me. They know they will always have a place at Camp Munroe and I love being a part of that experience for

everest goals i want to strive to make me better at math. if get good grades it would make me better because i can lead the world if i wanted to i can be on top.my color is yellow meaning

I am quite sure that almost all people, young and old have learned to crawl when they were a toddler. Crawling is just one step away from walking (pun intended) which most people must learn to do. What makes my story so different from everybody else's starting to crawl story? Well for one I learned right after my parents were able to bring me to the hotel room they were staying at from the orphanage in China and my dad used the power of Cheerio's and toys to motivate me. Interesting? ... I thought so.

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
