My most meaningful moment in YIP was when my group went to Second Mile and we had to pack food which we would be giving families coming through the building. For me this YIP assignment had the most impact on me and my group and I had the most impact on these people. You could see how grateful they were in their eyes, and in that moment, you could just tell that you were changing someone’s life in ways you couldn’t even imagine. Even though that day we left knowing we probably never see those people we helped ever again at least we knew we made a mark on someone’s life that day.

Service is one of the essential pillars of the National Honor Society. While a member of the National Honor Society I have participated in many projects that have changed the way I see the world. While volunteering I have met many fascinating individuals that have different stories. Stories that have influenced my future goals to help and show kindness to everyone. While volunteering at Care one I have met multiple people who always have a smile on their face no matter how bad or good their day is going. Therefore the most significant moment that has impacted me is one story in particular. During the weekend I volunteer with an elderly woman. She is kind, friendly and has the biggest smile. While volunteering with her I have learned that volunteering
The act of service that meant the most to me was my Eagle Scout Project. I began planning it in November of 2014 and finished April 2015. It was one of the largest things I planned from concept to final product. Before my Eagle Scout Project, In my town, the park is one of the most used venues in our community and most of it is beautiful but in front of the bathrooms was an area that was overgrown and had corn growing in it. I had to go through many steps of bureaucracy just to get approval, plan everything in detail, and execute the project effectively.

One of my most memorable moments was when I joined Geek Squad. Geek squad was basically a program for kids who were good with computers so they went from class to class to help teachers work out their technology problems. The club was run my old computer teacher, Ms. Carson, and the club had two sessions, one from October through February and another session from February to June. The session I joined was from February through June. At that time, there was only eight kids and in the other session it was much larger. All we did was connect all the laptops to the school network, yet I still have fond memories on what I did back then.
An experience that has made a profound impact on my life was when I directed and completed a community service project to fulfill a requirement for the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America. In order to competently act as coordinator for this service project, I had to develop both my interpersonal communication and leadership capabilities to a proficient level. Besides improving my professional skills, this project gave me the opportunity gain hands on experience working with groups of people who had varying skill levels. So, not only did these skills allow me to complete the project successfully, they have also proven incredibly useful throughout my academic career.
in order to guarantee the smooth operations in an operable organization. Nursing home administrators work hard to make sure that residents, their healthcare providers, and their relatives are all satisfied with their service. According to “What Does a Nursing Home Administrator Do?” article, a day in the life of a nursing home administrator is defined as fast-paced and disordered. Between unexpected meetings, phone calls, and disasters, the administrator completes their other responsibilities also dealing with unfortunate residents as problems arise, helping staff satisfy residents, and transporting information to the corporate
An unforgettable experience I’m grateful for participating in was volunteering at Hospice. What most people aren’t aware of is that Hospice isn’t just a place surrounded by death and despair, it’s more than that, you’re providing comfort to patients to reduce their suffering and enhancing their quality of life.
At the end of sophomore year my friend invited me to a group he had started called Friends of Haiti. Initially I had no clue what I was getting involved in, but after the first meeting I started to realize how immense a task the group was planning.
My service learning activity took place overseas on a small island named Haiti. I took the trip with Sister Victoria and five other people. In my short time there I grew a deeper appreciation for all that we have here in the United States. For instance, clear water, readily accessible medical resources, and so much more. Additionally, to a growing deeper appreciate, my team and I did a lot of activities there to help the community of Jacmel. For example, we visited several orphanages within the surrounding communities and helped with meal preparations, feedings, and ADLs. In addition to visiting orphanages, we also had the opportunity to work in the clinic where myself and the rest of our team helped with taking vital signs, general assessments, and wound care. Furthermore, we had the opportunity to visit several hospitals and clinics are were able to drop off medical supplies that the hospital/clinic needed. Lastly, we accompanied Sister Margaret to do home health visits in nearby neighborhoods.
In my life I believe I have had multiple defining moments with both a mixture of positive and negative ones. But I am going to write this assignment on the one I think has had the biggest impact on my life and on myself. I believe my most defining moment is when I chose to try out and then made one of my high school dance teams, The Eden Prairie Pom Squad. I believe this to be a life-changing moment for the reason that through being on this team I have learned so many life lessons that I carry with me every day, I have also made lifelong friends through being on this team, and it has helped shaped me into the person I am today. Through being on this team I have also learned leadership through being a junior captain and then
I was surrounded by people who wanted nothing more than to help and to heal. I have never felt more a part of the Army than I did that day. I had the good fortune to work for one of the best chain of command structures I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my career. These were Soldiers and Civilians who cared for Soldiers and it showed in their acts and in their words. They did everything they could do to ensure I was okay, that my wife was okay and more importantly that my son was okay. It was awesome. I use that word awesome in its purest sense. The kind of awesome you feel when you completely understand you are part of the most powerful Army in the world and when required, the smallest. It was at its smallest point when leaders lead quietly and because it was the right thing to do. The list of people who reached out to me is so long I couldn’t even begin to list it here but know I remember them. Those leaders reaffirmed to me that good leaders do the right thing even when no one is looking and do it repeatedly. I want to be one of those leaders so someday I can make a difference. So, ask me again, what the most significant day in my Army Career was. It was April 3, 2014. The day I saw leaders care and lead when no one was
My most rewarding volunteer experience was the time I operated a game booth during my church's annual fair. I remember the day as if it were yesterday; it was
My most defining moment in Interact was when I wrote my letter of resignation in December of 2016. Before I emailed my presidents telling them what I was doing, I decided to think of things in a different perspective. I could either quit or keep forging on, and I chose the latter. That one situation helped me the world in a different way. I hope to teach other members and nonmembers how to work through personal problems for the better.
One of my personal favorites was when I was in 5th grade. At my school we had something called “Safety patrol,” and that is where we come before and after school to tell the K-4 to stop running and to walk to the playground or the bus. Usually, after school, I would go to my aunt’s work and it would be the best time. I got to see all the different things she does. She gets to see people at the hospital, which I got to do 1 time and the patient was the nicest in the world. She gave me 10 dollars to buy food of my choice and I got a cheeseburger and fries for lunch. Since my aunt and my mom work at the hospital usually after about 20 minutes I would go over to my mom’s office and go and finish my homework. Then I and my mom would go home. this really reflected on my life because after going home I learned that even though people are not as safe as other people we can still help them in certain ways.
