Seize The Day Memo

All that being said, I would agree that people are better gifted to serve in different areas. I know for myself, I would really want a job that I find meaningful and somehow helps others. This past summer I worked at a day camp for kids with disabilities. It was not an easy job, and at times I did not always enjoy it, but at the end of every day I always felt like I had accomplished something and that what I had done all day was meaningful. I would say I am passionate about wanting to do something that helps others, maybe specifically people with

I have known since eighth grade that I aim to serve my country as a Naval Officer. I grew up in military and patriotic surroundings, listening to my Grandfather, a World War II PT boat veteran, tell stories of his Navy days. What inspired me most about him was that he never stopped giving back to our country. He remained a significant part of the Disabled American Veterans fighting for rights of veterans until the day he died. My Grandfather was the one that introduced me to the Naval Academy.

Of all of the tasks one can do, by far the noblest act is sharing one’s self to others and living in service. Though it is daunting at times, ultimately, serving others, whether through simple acts of kindness, participating in charities, or actively assisting to create a better future, is something I am willing and currently doing. In addition, both my current actions and the mindset I have behind my actions (both religious and secular) lay the foundation of a lifetime of service.

My parents are not fluent in English, and the presence of language barriers became apparent to me when my father suffered a heart attack in 2009. My mother rushed him to the hospital but was unable to communicate with the doctors. My parents were left distraught to only imagine what was happening until a Vietnamese translator arrived at the scene. I will go serve in a Vietnamese populated area to address this discrepancy. At a larger scale, I will work relentlessly to find ways to improve the access and quality of healthcare in susceptible

"I want to do some mission work. I'm currently unemployed, and It hurts when family calls me a loser for having no job. God told me I don't need to do a regular job. I need to do something with a purpose. I will be a missionary by God's grace.

Immigrating to Canada six years ago has given me many opportunities. Being able to adapt to a new country, culture and learning a new language takes time and courage and a positive attitude. I have struggled learning to speak and write English, but despite that, I have demonstrated confidence in my actions and I have continued to make progress. Learning to cooperate with everyone with empathy has helped me gain self-reliance, confidence, and courage to help everyone regardless of their race, gender or beliefs. The word volunteer was not in my vocabulary until I moved to Canada, to which I am so grateful to have learned.

Realizing that Part A had some flaws, and could prove to become very expensive for those patients who were chronically ill and might not be able to afford treatment within the given coverage guidelines of Medicare Part A, CMS devised an optional Medicare Part B program, commonly referred to as “physician services”.  Medicare Part B not only adds additional insurance, but also covers other health care needs, particularly those not covered by Part A.  This Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) does not cover the services 100%, but rather 80%, where the beneficiary would only be responsible for the remaining 20%, also known as a coinsurance.

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns to me about your trepidation with the course material and how this material may be counter to your views. First let me say, it is perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable to discuss race and White privilege, and I applaud your efforts to take a risk in disclosing this to me. Although it appears that I am comfortable, I, too, have trepidation about discussing race but also have an obligation as a social welfare scholar to address these issues despite my comfort level. Second, you may feel that your opinions may be different from other students, but I assure your peers have the same degree of discomfort. Third, you are correct about the weekly posting being difficult. The aim is to for you to grapple with sensitive and dense information that may be counter to your personal belief system. The weekly posts allow for you to express your ideas in a safe and professional forum.

I want to talk about not necessarily my service but my experiences overseas. I have been fortunate enough to be able to go to see Colombia and Costa Rica. I remember vividly driving through Colombia and seeing people owning only the clothes on their back, but the incredible thing was how happy they were. They didn’t value material possessions like we do , all they asked for was some food and water.

On May 1,1793, I left my home of the Caribbean. All my family has perished,so I'm going to America to change my life. When I get there I hope everything will be alright.

My involvements with the Ethiopian Orthodox community is one I cherish immensely. Every Sunday, at St. Michael Ethiopian Orthodox Church, I serve as a youth leader to the children of the church. Where through Bible study and teachings of the Ethiopian Fidel (alphabet) the students are able to learn and deepen their knowledge of both their religion and culture. The reason I volunteer is not for the community hours’ nor is it for the authoritative figure I hold. The reason I cherish my time teaching these children is purely for the joy I receive witnessing the sparks of passion ignite in my student's eyes. Their desire to learn and grow moves me deeply to not only better myself as a human but as their teacher as well. Although I am the leader
