The Importance Of Giving Back To A Community

Currently, I do a lot of volunteer work at my church in the technology booth. I have learned how to make discs of the sermons and I am learning how to operate all the equipment in the sound booth. This is a lot of fun for me. It makes me feel useful, like I am helping the family and

Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.

Throughout the past four years of high school, I have done my best to try and stay actively involved in the community. I have been presented with some amazing volunteer opportunities such as Huron Safety Town, STAR Leadership Camp, American Red Cross, and Huron High School Girl’s Basketball Biddy Program. I spent over 24 hours at Huron Safety Town where I was able to help young students, mainly those going into Kindergarten, learn how to stay safe while on the road. I was also able to spend over 24 hours at STAR Leadership Camp where I was a councilor to those going into the sixth grade. I made sure that each student understood the importance of being a leader in today's society and how important they are to Huron’s community. Through National Honor Society I have been able to maintain in constant contact, approximately 10 hours, with the American Red Cross by volunteering in monthly blood drives. I have also dedicated 16 hours of my time to those young girls interested in someday being a varsity basketball player through the Biddy Basketball Program.

I immediately fell in love with the act of helping people and since I’ve first joined the organization I have visited nursing homes during Christmas time, collected donations for a hospital, and blazed a trail for my community. During my high school career, my fellow troop members and I organized a collection of toiletries for DASI, the women’s domestic abuse shelter in Newton as a way to take action. Being a Girl Scout taught me the importance of helping people and my experiences have inspired me to begin working my Gold Award, the highest level of achievement in Girl

From being active in my community I have learned that after giving, you receive the best feeling. My freshman year, my friends and I dressed up like Disney princesses and sang at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. I have gone back two more times because I am in love with cheering people up. Since this experience, I have made it a mission to always continue to participate in community service. From meals-on-wheels, to adopt-a-spot trash clean up I am always ready to help out the community.

The path to Eagle is not a journey that can be completed alone. Upon joining the Boy Scouts of America, I realized that I would need help from others to complete the monumental task of obtaining the Eagle rank. As I embarked on my path toward eagle, recognized that I would need guidance and examples of how to complete my eagle project. This realization prompted me to attend the eagle scout project of many individuals to whom I looked upon as role models. From each project, I acquired insightful advice about the responsibilities of an eagle scout while also improving the community. The service projects, which ranged from building benches for a park to restoring a church, helped me contribute by providing a beneficial service to many different

In fifth and sixth grade, I was invited to attend The National Young Leadership Forum, an organization dedicated to serving academically gifted and talented youth. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a week in Washington D.C., where I learned the qualifications of a righteous leader and to develop academic abilities and interests. I will bring my knowledge of leadership to sustain a school community in which students will strive to maintain integrity and trust with each other. By engaging in community service, I have an opportunity to learn experientially, expose myself to diversity, and develop a sense of responsibility. By volunteering in multiple ways in the last several years, I was able to knit hats for children in hospitals, help at a local food bank, create and donate bookmarks for third graders, and help at the Bellaire Public Library. Helping others has given me a great sense of satisfaction and I plan to continue working on various community service projects in the future. Born and raised to Israeli parents, I am benefited with bilinguality, traveling overseas, exposure to other cultures, and insight on global

I have upwards of 2,500 hours of service dedicated to the Detroit Boat Club. Activities include Boat Club restoration due to the fact that it is the oldest standing boat club in America, a historical landmark, and the structure is crumbling from the ground up. Many afternoons have been spent setting up safety tape to avoid injury of those who pass by it and attending to the problem, in which I would help remove materials and bring in new materials for construction. Another activity was Belle Isle cleanup, the State Park the club is located on, where I would go around picking up trash around the island as well as attending to the overgrown shrubbery surrounding the gosling habitats. Also during the summer I would regularly help teach learn-to-row programs along with the coaches to instill the best form and work ethic in the novice individuals looking to join the varsity high school rowing teams. Furthermore, I would volunteer for about an hour every other saturday or so to teach the indoor rowing classes to any and all ages

I have made the town of Cresco a better community by showing my traits or characteristics of an Eagle Scout. Every day I look for an opportunity to help someone in any way I can. The boy scout slogan is to do a good turn daily. This is something I do or try to do every day. Weather it is opening a door for someone or helping an elderly person carrying something. To me doing things like this is what brings our community together as one and makes it strong. Being an Eagle Scout I have high expectations. These expectations are what I hold myself to every day along with the boy scout slogan. With that being said, for my Eagle Scout project I replaced the horse shoe pits at the parks in town with permanent bean bag boards. I, along with the assistant

As a member of the Boy Scouts of America in Troop 181 I have established myself as a young leader and well rounded individual. I have been a part of countless service projects with my fellow Scouts since I was in first grade. Sticking with Scouting has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I climbed through the ranks and attained my Eagle Scout award when I was sixteen. The Eagle Scout service project I completed along side the multiple other volunteering excursions I have been a part of have taught me several core values that will cling tightly to me from here on. These service projects have given me a fantastic outlook on life. My Troop often visits with the local nursing home to carol, plant vegetables in their garden, decorate,

Like Christopher Nolan’s Batman once said, “Its not who we are underneath, but what we do that defines us.” The community is a reflection of who we are as citizens of the world. Serving the community helps by giving it a chance to grow and flourish and gives you, as a person, that same chance

As I Boy Scout and former member of scouting’s national honor society I have dedicated the last ten years of my life to the cheerful service of others. Along this amazing journey I earned the high honor of eagle scout. To earn such an esteemed rank I had to demonstrate leadership and service towards others through a large community project. As a result I undertook the complete restoration of a garden at Saint Timothy’s Episcopal church called Founders Green which took three years to complete. Through those three years I I took on more responsibility at the age of twelve some teenagers have in their entire high school career. These responsibilities included laboring over a desk drafting a schematic for the entire project, followed months of

After graduating with a degree in a specified profession, giving back to the community is one of the most important tasks an individual can do to fully expand on their degree. After graduating college as an educated person, giving back to society for me would include, joining community clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, The Chamber of Commerce, and many more community bettering* clubs. My responsibility as an educated person would be to go out into the real world and better the community around me, building better foundations for businesses, creating a better town for people to live in, and supporting a local charity in need.

I believe that giving back to the community is one of the most important things a person must do. After I graduate with my degree in aerospace engineer, I plan to go back and help not only my community; I will help this whole nation to build next generation advanced airplanes. You see, nowadays aerospace industry are so well and lots of things are improving but still there is been some crashes and people are dying. In order to fix these kinds of problem, I would join NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Lots of improvement in the airplane comes from NASA. This way I would get the chance to serve my community and county. These are the very same people I grew up with. Who took care of me while my parents were at work by babysitting
