Introduction
Dovercourt School is a bilingual school which provides English and Chinese program. The school philosophy is to believe that the students need to be engaged to be deeply successful in their learning. They believe that the students will be successful by persisting studying, overcoming obstacles, and delighting in accomplishing their work.
I began to be a volunteer to read mandarin stories to students in mandarin grades three and four in Dovercourt School in Oct 14 and Oct 16. On the one hand, I believe that volunteering activity can create my credibility, build self-confidence, develop self-awareness, and share the vision. On the other hand, the motivation behind volunteer activity will benefit for those students who need help improve their mandarin knowledge. I
How was this activity chosen?
When I picked the volunteer project, I have been the volunteer in my son’s school for several years. I like to be a volunteer to participate the activity with kids since they are so creative and lovely. Furthermore, the most important point is that I would like to observe my son’s development closely.

On this Monday, she emailed me to ask me whether I can come and
Volunteering gives me the opportunity to be there for someone and to change people’s lives including my own. Volunteering to me is a way of giving back to the community or someone in need of help. For as long as I can remember I have always had the passion for helping people especially children and the aged, thus my interest in nursing. Any opportunity to perform an act of kindness made me happy that at least I could be of help to someone. From taking care of my siblings and cousins, babysitting, helping friends and among others. Of the many goals I have in life the most important one is to provide help to those in need through my commitment of service. I volunteered at a daycare school closer to me and

In chapter seven of our book Child, Family, and Community by Gonzalez-Mena talks about how good to teach students about other cultures. • While the child were reading the Chinese New Year book, a mother walked in and sat down next to her daughter. The mother stayed awhile with her child in the classroom. In chapter six in our book Child, Family, and Community by Gonzalez-Mena states, " Teachers and parents have to look for opportunities to have both casual conversations before and after school and plan ones as well" (145). It is really important for the child to know their parents care for their education.

To understand the importance of volunteering, I volunteered at one cultural event in San Antonio downtown. It was the festival of Diwali, a festival of light celebrate in India every year, organized by the San Antonio municipal and Indian Association. In San Antonio’s downtown we have a Riverwalk and the booth was on one side of river with the bleacher and on the other side was the stadium. Folk dances of India were performed on the stage. I volunteered at a booth of drink. My job was to sell soft drinks like coke for a dollar. I made a working there on the booth and we both had almost same interests due to that I was very surprised. There was also another booth next to us. I helped them to load, carry and organize their booth with food. This
I have the pleasure of being in a Kindergarten classroom with sixteen amazing children this semester. Three of these children are English Language Learners (ELL). The one I have chosen to focus on for the purpose of the next several assignments is a little boy from China who I will refer to as ML. ML is polite, quiet and a focused child in the classroom. Though we are only a little over a month into the school year, ML seems to be thriving in his class. His culture may play a role in his current success because “a good education has always been highly valued in China, as the people believe that education ensures not only the future and development of the individual but also the family and the country as a whole” (Education

They help people in Middletown that need repairs on their homes, but are unable to afford them. I worked for them for about two weeks.

Another leadership role that I had was I was the captain of our Varsity Booys Soccer team. I tend to do most of my volunteering throughtout
Becoming a hospice volunteer for terminally ill patients and families is an honor. Volunteering is a gift to these vulnerable patients and families as well as the volunteer. When potential volunteers are asked what the reason is for wanting to volunteer, the answer most frequently given is, “I want to make a difference and give back to our society”. Volunteers make an indescribable difference in the lives of countless hurting people. Volunteers provide companionship and socialization to patients through reading a book, singing, or by doing light chores to name a few. Volunteering can also be something as simple as sitting with a patient, even if that patient is unable to communicate verbally. Their way of communication may instead be through

Did you know that 8th graders have to volunteer 5 hours every quarter. Because of that my teacher is asking us to write an essay about where we are going to volunteer next year.I think this essay is just trying to make me look like I am making this essay because I want to help other kids and teach them about volunteering and that I would go interview someone and do research just to volunteer. But I’m not, this is an essay that I am typing to help me find places I can volunteer,how I would volunteer, and how long I would volunteer. This essay wants me to include why I would want to volunteer and what volunteering helps with. It also wants me to tell what my brother said in his interview and what I would volunteer doing. So, I would want to volunteer because it can help homeless people and help animals in need. Volunteering helps people that don't have homes and jobs and also help any animals that don't have owners or were in disasters.
