Volunteer Fair Observation Report

No matter, my experience at the March 2 Career Fair began at 8:00AM that day. I, like several other students, had volunteered to help before and after the Career Fair. Personally, I thought it would be a great opportunity to network with the companies and build my networking skills. So once they started to arrive I took every chance I could to have a conversation with them as I helped bring their stuff into the building and to their table. I believe by volunteering I got an extra benefit that many other students were not able to receive.

Community service is services volunteered by individuals or an organization to benefit a community or its institutions. My favorite community service job that I completed was located at The Junior Achievement at the Atlanta Discovery Center. The objective of this service was to teach children how to survive and succeed in the world economically through the use of time, talent, cooperation, and education. Before they came to the center students were trained by their teachers to budget money and to spend it wisely. So when they finally arrived, a real life model was presented to them. With the compelling volunteer and student interaction, we helped each student understand the theory to life and also understand the differences between needs and wants. The building was set up with different mini department stores like Chick-fil-A, Publix, philanthropy shop, SunTrust bank, home/apartment agencies, automobile shop, Belk, Kaiser Permanente, and AT&T. These shops were to help the students understand manage the differences between what they really need and what they really want. In addition, the goal was to also help build character and skills to make it in the fast-moving real world.

Volunteering allows people to see a side of their community most do not think about. Most people take for granted many privileges, such as being able to see the dentist or the eye doctor or a roof over their head and food in their stomach. Volunteering at events such as R.A.M. allows for volunteers to see the people that are in need of such things in their community and allows them to do things to improve those people's lives. Students will be able to understand what is going on and have the knowledge and ability to do something about it.

It was my first time ever volunteering for something. I believe I was more nervous because I didn’t know exactly what I was going to be doing and I didn’t want anything going wrong my first time. When I showed up to the mobile pantry it was completely different. Everyone volunteering was very friendly and helpful. They all work together as a community which is admirable. I was a stocker at the event. A stocker is one who is in charge of stacking tables with produce and disposes of empty boxes or makes them available to participants. I definitely enjoyed this because it opened my eyes of how many families out there are in need. Sometimes we take for granted what we have while other people wished they had what we do. I believe the Denton Hunger Coalition is a great organization that has many goals they want to accomplish and will continue to grow. One of the weaknesses the organization has is getting more people to come out to the food pantry. Since they are just starting some of the agencies out there maybe forget to promote them which is why many people don’t know about the pantry. Although, one of their strengths is that Denton community comes together as one in order to help others. I believe my volunteer time was of value to the agency because they were able to work faster with an extra pair of hands. I enjoyed volunteering and helping others

Doing this serving learning project was a great way to get connected with other peers and the school itself. There are hundreds of students and organizations looking for assistance, and this is generally the easy way to seek help. When I found out I had to do volunteer hours for this class I was like where am I going to find an event from. I know KSU have events all the time where they are in need of volunteers. But I worried about finding one that I was actually interested in. When I found the career fair one, it caught my eye and I have never volunteered for one before so I thought it would be and great opportunity.

I have been participating in 4-H since 4th grade. During all that time, I have done multiple volunteering acts to help the community I live in. Each year, my 4-H club works a four hour shift in the food stand, followed by a 45 minute shift of the Pavilion. I have helped someone who has needed it, whether it’s taking someone’s order of food, or letting a community member know rules and regulations of the Pavilion. By volunteering at the 4-H food stand, it has tremendously helped other 4-H members and the community because it lowers their membership fees, it has allowed 4-H members to be able to go to leadership trips, or other trips, at a lower cost, and lastly, because it allows everyone to have a large variety of fantastic food all day!

Our freshman seminar class volunteered and helped fundraise for JDFR which helps fund and research Type 1 Diabetes. Some of us did the walk, and others helped by fundraising at a table. Personally, I sat at the table for three hours and fundraised. Overall, I thought that this was a nice and enjoyable experience.

On August 21, 2015 at approximately 3:15PM I, Deputy Tucker George along with Deputy Donavian South checked en route to an unknown adress on State Highway 80 West across the street from the Mineola Golf Course in Mineola Texas, 75773 in reference to a possible assualt call.

In the Eyewitness Views exhibition at Getty, the viewer is submerged in the past. The exhibition primarily focuses on reliving the past golden era paintings of European art during its peak in the 18th century. This impressive collection of art works visual record the past events in vivid detail like for example royal celebrations, religious ceremonies, sporting contests and natural disasters. In other words, historical and everyday events are portrayed in the paintings by the skilled artists that present the illusion that the viewer is at that present time.

Every Saturday I volunteer at a Japanese Saturday School. The particular class I help watch are the 4-5 year olds. Throughout my years volunteering I felt as if these are the years when children tend to experiment. They figure out how to push you to your braking point, they figure out what annoys you and then know just how to get at you. They know most of the differences between right and wrong though sometimes still choose the wrong decision. These kinds of actions can be seen in any type of person, but I think this is where it all starts. I feel as if at these moments my patience is being tested because I do not have much patience. But throughout the year I have grown to have much more patience from working with these little children. A

I work in a call center, and we decided to do a food drive. The organization we donated is called Matthew’s Crossing Food Bank. This particular organization distributes food to people in need from Phoenix east valley. When I presented the idea to my team about donating, they were not enthusiastic about it. I tried to get them engaged about donating. One of my agents is from Lebanon, which is very close to Syria. He had just came back from vacations while we were doing the food drive. He became very excited about the idea of donating, and shared his experience of volunteering in the middle east. He described how difficult it was for people to look at their kids and know they could not feed them for the day. For the next couple of days, people

On Saturday 12/02/17 at 1507 hours dispatch aired over the radio that an interrupted burglary had just occurred at the Rio Verde Mobile #443 located at 1402 22nd ST SE in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA. Dispatch advised the reporting person, Tina Murray, stated the suspect left southbound on foot, and went over a fence out of the area. Dispatch stated Tina described the suspect as a white male, 20's in age, 5ft 5in tall, thin build, a goatee, wearing a black jacket, blue hoody, with the hood up, jeans, and blue shoes.

As I have mentioned in my application I am a part of a service organization called Circle K International. At the start, I never was really interested in doing any volunteering service. I said to myself, “Hey, if I do community service my college applications would look better!” That was my mentality when I joined, but it changed when I went to my first volunteering event. I went to a park near the city of Mission Viejo, I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived, I heard that we were going to plant trees throughout the park and remove trash around the area. It made me super excited to plant the trees as I have never done or seen someone do it before. During the event, I was talking to people both new and old, and I got to connect with them

The summer before eighth grade, I decided that I wanted to start volunteering. After researching many different organizations, I came across Nurses for Newborns, a non-for-profit organization in St. Louis that works to prevent infant mortality by providing families with in-home nursing visits. As a volunteer there, I organize donations and other necessities that the nurses take with them as they visit these families. One day, when I was volunteering, a nurse asked me to help take donations out to her car. As I was carrying the supplies to her, she told me about the family that was receiving these donations. The first time that she visited this family, she noticed that they were using dirty rags in place of toilet paper, unable to afford basic

My first day of observations had finally arrived. Filled with excitement, I opened the doors to Pleasant Ridge Elementary School, and walked into the front office to sign in as a guest for the day. I made my way to the second grade wing to do my first observation for my field experience report. The second grade instructor greeted me as I entered her classroom, with a big bright smile I found made her classroom warm and inviting.
