Volunteering At Perspectives

I am interested in volunteering this summer especially at Pinnacle Health because I would love to get exposure to the medical world and experience what it has to offer. I would like to give back to the community and provide service for others in the summer student volunteer program. You should select me to be a volunteer for this upcoming summer because I am a very hardworking, dedicated, and organized person. I take pride in what I do and it shows throughout all my work. I am also an intelligent person who would love to expand my knowledge as a student volunteer. If I were to be chosen the volunteer program would positively impact my life because it would help me develop a larger perspective of the world. My horizons would immensely be broadened

Volunteering is an action for happiness, which does not only offer help to people in need, but also brings new experiences into our lives. By the end of October, I have participated in the Go Girls! program with Jennifer Kulanthaivelu, which is a program of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Lacombe. The objective of the Go Girls! program is to promote the importance of healthy livings to young children by helping them build a positive self-image.

While going to Cal State University, Fullerton, Sergio, the funder and managing owner, started to volunteer for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). VITA is an IRS program that helps low income families to do its income tax returns. While volunteering at VITA, Sergio realized that he liked to help individuals navigating through the tax regulation maze. So, he graduated with an accounting degree from Cal State University, Fullerton.

To begin I volunteer at the boys and girls club in Santa Ana, for one of my field work classes of human serivrs. Im there on Mondays and Wednesdays from three thirty to six thirty. I help them with everything, from homework, to lecturing them at times, monorting them, and making sure they’re on task of what they are suppose to be doing during class time. The children I volunteer with are from first grade to six grade so from five to ten year olds. Ive been doing this for about three months now and its crazy but fun at the same times yet the stuff you’ll experience here is surprising.

During high school I was one of the leaders of our high school volunteering organization. I have volunteered NTFB, Texas Discovery Garden, Angel Tree for the salvation army, Race for the cure, YMCA turkey Trot, Blood Drive of 2014, the Balloon Festival, and the MLK convention. I was also the founder and the leader of the middle eastern club. I was a member of our high school student council and a member in LULAC. I was also the treasure in our high school’s choir. I worked at my high school’s admissions and testing center. I also volunteered at the GO center which helps the students apply for scholarships and FAFSA/TAFSA paper work. All of this community work has made me understand what is the meaning of giving back to the society and helping

My third day at Agape was on March 24, 2016. On that day I went in for tuck in calls as usually but these time it was something different. This time is very emotional because one of the patient I called said that he was very lonely and wanted to have company. Just to him say this made me feel very emotional, I could image him sitting there all alone of his front porch. This where volunteer comes in to support the nurse and the families. Many families and nurses can't spend the time with their patient and love due to fact that there are working or doing there jobs. Its is one of the reason I volunteer because of this. I can relate to this because my grandmother is always be her self until my mother gets off from work and when my mother is done

This year we have learned a lot about what showing/giving others Shalom means. This service-learning project is a wonderful opportunity to introduce Shalom to children early on in their lives. We will do this by showing them love, kindness, patience, and compassion while participating in activities with them. For this service-learning opportunity, we will be going to Jumpstart in Orange City to volunteer with the children there. We will be there from 3:45-6:00. While there, we will be participating and leading the children in a variety of activities. While this is a project for school, my hope is that it is also a chance to have fun and spend time with children. I plan to get to know the children and really be present with them in the time

A significant service experience that I have accomplished in my life are the Little Arrow Volleyball Camps. I have done the camps for 3 years and loved it each time. I helped the kids with drills and learning basic movements in volleyball. Multiple times I was in charge of a team of kids to play against a different teams. I showed them how to do simple plays and how to different techniques. Each you the kids always have a great time because I and others make it fun for them. The camp last for three days and the kids get better and better as the days move on. I am very energetic and excited which makes the kids happy to be there and when they score a point! On the last day we all got to play some fun games and eat some ice cream; we also competed

The knowledge and experience I have gained in college fostered a desire in me to not only practice medicine, but also use the expertise I gain as a physician to play a part in reforming policy and systems to better serve peoples’ needs and to alleviate disparities in the US and globally. Sociology and ethics classes have broadened my interest in health care and volunteering has solidified this classroom understanding. This desire has prompted me to write my capstone honors thesis for the Health Science Scholars Honors Program on health disparities and will affect the direction of my career.

Most of my past volunteer experiences took place in a high school environment, where I had the opportunity to participate in events such as helping to: plan and execute the assembly of an outdoor classroom, prepare food and make beds for homeless individuals, and gather gifts and make cards for sick children in hospitals. I also am currently a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel's in-school mentoring program, where I have the pleasure of being a mentor to a ten year old girl. My volunteer experiences have taught me how to co-ordinate with teachers, peers, school administrators, and organizational officials. Also, because I have a mentally and physically disabled cousin, I have experience in dealing with special-needs youth; these experiences have taught me the many challenges such youth face, and how to be prepared for and how to deal with unexpected situations. I am comfortable with engaging with diverse groups of people, being vocal about social inequality, and taking the lead to make a

-I would like to try something I have never done before. I think to become a volunteer in SDC would be a very valuable experience.

If I had the chance to see myself through the eyes of someone else, I would see a hard working and well rounded person. As someone with a keen interest in volunteering, academics, working with the public and playing sports, these activities have given me a platform to grow upon.

Certainly the most enjoyable part of my volunteering time was seeing the joy on the children’s faces. Walking up and down the field observing teams I took a knee to watch two teams playing The Super Heroes and 179er’s. The Super Heroes had the ball producing a play I watched as the able body students cleared the way for a player that clearly struggled with gate and skeletal structure disabilities as she, Black widow #4, made her way to the in zone slowly yet so proud of herself. Black widow scored and with a huge roar everyone on both teams cheered with passion that could be heard throughout all the field bringing attention to their game just a slight moment. Emotions consumed me as I cheered right along proud of the integrated connection

These kids have become an important fixture in my life, and that is one of the best things that have come out of this experience. I also enjoy the bout of pride that I get out of working in these positions of moderate power because it gives me a confidence in my work that I didn’t even have in my paying job. Another final thing that I like about this experience is the support system it has opened me up to. The kids and the adults that I work with have allowed me to open up to them about matters that I haven’t even spoken up about to my closest friends. This experience has opened me up to a safe space, and that is enough to keep me in the system for this volunteer

I had the pleasure to volunteer at MASA, a nonprofit organization, that partner with the Hispanic Community to develop strong, future leaders of our generation. As a volunteer, I was able to help students in the robotics program hone their creativity and engineering skills by designing innovative robots using programmable Lego Mindstorm NXT kits. Additionally, students spent each week building robots and learning about gears and sensors. With my previous experience with the Lego Mindstorm NXT in school, I was able to direct the children in numerous projects. Overall, I was a contributor to the program and helped students cultivate a love of learning in the field of engineering.
