Personal Narrative: My Senior Project

378 Words2 Pages

On the very first day of school, I began to plan my Senior Project. I wanted to piece together a project that would mean something to me and be beneficial to others. I came up with the idea of collecting donations for homeless people and delivering them to shelters. A close family member of mine was homeless for two years, and because of this, I hold a special place in my heart for homeless people. My project has been extremely eye opening. It is amazing how many homeless people who go unnoticed live in our community. My project has taught me to never donate anything to Goodwill when there are several other organizations that will take donations and put them to better use. In addition, I have also learned never to take what I have for granted.

    As I am quickly approaching the end of my senior, I am looking back at how far I have come since freshman year and everything that Henley High School has helped me accomplish in my life. In preparation for the life that every senior must experience after school, the senior capstone project was put in place to help seniors find out what they would suit them as career and give them some of the necessary tools in achieving that. Part of the capstone was earning service hours at a non profit organization, that can go on a resume. With serving came a facilitator, who guides one’s service, and also the challenges and success of the service itself. To Provide help on future careers, Henley High School also provided an opportunity to take the CIS test

    In my freshman year, I made a choice to relinquish some of my social life and replace that time giving back to my community. I joined a non-profit organization called the Volunteer Corp. We spent our time at food banks, park clean-ups, and even hosting local events. This experience left a lasting impression on me in many ways; however, one experience changed my perspective on life and serve as a constant reminder of how the smallest contribution to others can be the most powerful. St. Joseph University, in Philadelphia, held an event called Hand in Hand. It was an event dedicated to raising awareness for people with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

If I had one year to organize a volunteer project I would devote my time to really helping these veterans. The plan would be to organize a group of volunteers here in Charlotte, North Carolina (because it is a local problem) and open up a place to feed the homeless veterans specifically. If I could do this project how I wanted to I have a lot of great ideas.

  • Service Club Application Essay Examples

    Armed with the lessons of last year and with a new Service Club president by my side (my friend Christy, with whom I share club responsibilities in a roughly equal partnership), my senior year has seen a complete Service Club transformation. Club membership has rocketed to thirty plus committed members, and we have started no fewer than six successful projects this semester alone, including our drive for donations to create gift baskets for a local battered women’s shelter, a new recycling program in partnership with Environmental Club, and a program where students sew mittens for a local nonprofit serving the homeless. Of all our new programs, my personal favorite is a partnership that I orchestrated between Service Club and Larimer Humane Society, a wonderful animal-rescue organization where I’ve been a volunteer for years. Compared to what it was when I joined, Service Club is an utterly new group, with a vitality and a forward momentum that members a few years ago would scarcely have

I was tired of the way people degraded and discriminated against a subculture that they didn’t even seek to understand. I could never really understand how society justified homelessness, but I sought to channel my energy into creating lasting change. Homelessness has been an area where my heart always broke for.
