tragedy. Even if a person did not have a friend or loved one in the tower they cried and mourned. As a country we provided support and services voluntarily to everyone that needed it. Volunteering in America is something that has helped this country to grow the way it has. Services that were given through volunteering are a necessary part of how this country has dealt with its challenges. Beyond the wars that have made and changed the lives of Americans, this country has also had to deal with tragedy
Volunteering at the Laurel nursing home was an eye opener for me. I had done volunteer work before but the one that inspired me the most was for Laurel Nursing Home. As a group from AP Fatheree Vocational Tech Health Science class, we would go to the nursing home whenever they would allow us to come. At the nursing home, we would come up with games and activities to play with everyone such as: cards, bowling, family feud, and karoake. The best part about volunteering there was seeing the joy
VOLUNTEERING RESPONSE PAPER I volunteered for an organization called Service Works. It’s a nationwide organization that helps young adults in developing communities to build acquired skills to prepare for college and their career paths. Service Works provide success coaches for young individuals as role models, and people that they can interact with if they have any problems, questions, or need advice regarding their career paths. Service Works is an organization that is hosted by Jersey Cares

Volunteering is a very special thing. When you volunteer, you are taking your own time and doing something you might not generally do. You are stepping out of your comfort zone and being with people you have no idea are. Personally, one of my favorite things to do is to volunteer. It makes me feel better as a person. I have volunteered in events such as the Lukie’s Fall Festival, Mini-THON, and the Penn State Special Olympics. Overall, I have learned a lot over the years of volunteering. I spent
I have developed a plan to experience altruism firsthand and build my sense of spirituality by: a. I live in Lake Elsinore, California and have noticed a large number of homeless walking and begging on the streets. While it is easy to look away when whole families of homeless are on the side of street with signs asking for money, I have instead looked for churches that specialize in helping the homeless. By talking with individuals at local churches who have helped the homeless I have learned
National Honors Society has demonstrated how impactful it is to help out at school and in the community. While doing my community service in various events throughout my junior and senior year, I’ve become aware that National Honors Society has impacted me and the community. I recognized that volunteers positively influence the community. During events volunteers play a major role in community events. Without the help of volunteers many events wouldn’t be possible.

When I was going into my freshman year of highschool, I attended a mission trip with my youth group at church to Bell county, Kentucky. Before I took this trip I did not involve myself in volunteering and religion because I did not see the value and desire in it. I felt that being involved in a community and doing work to help others , I was making personal gains. Helping two families repair their house from store damages not only made me realize how much I had compared to them, but presented the
Worlds Life is not so much about changing the world, but rather it is about changing a world. What may seem to be a miniscule and insignificant service on the big scale may be an unforgettable event on one person’s scale. This is what volunteering shows me. I love volunteering because of the profound difference that I can make in someone’s life just by putting in effort. I also enjoy the satisfaction that comes from serving others, and it is humbling to work with benevolence towards others instead of for
The volunteer spirit, in essence, is a feeling of pride that I have for having the opportunity to attend the University of Tennessee. It means embracing the traditions, the history, and especially the color orange. The volunteer spirit is the pride that you see at every football game in all the students, alumni, and other fans that are yelling Rocky Top as loud as they can.
