Life is all about changes, challenge, and learning and it is a continuous lifelong learning process, which never ends. Everyone goes through and experience life somewhat differently and each has their own challenges, memories, and stories. School is the nursery of life and the preparation of individuals to face greater challenge, which we all go through in life. Role modeling is an important element within our society and learning process. It builds connections and relationships, and the skills we learned through role model. Growing up with a sister with ADHD was very hard. Even though she was 3 years older than me I felt that I was always more mature than her. There were times where she would act childish and was always filled with joy. …show more content…
I had a mentor named, Lawrence. He has been one of the biggest influences in my life. He also provided me academic and social support, shared many of her life experiences and situations, and guided me to the right path for growth and success. Lawrence has helped me a lot in getting me prepared and ready for High School and showed me what lies ahead of me and guided me on how to prepare and how to get where I want to go. He has helped me with my self- confidence and has given me the motivation to do better in school. He has also helped me move toward self-sufficiency and helped me realize how important helping people were. His inspirations of help others have influenced me and my affinity towards social impact and helping others have significantly grown during my time with Lawrence. In 2014, I started volunteering at Sirovich Senior Center and volunteered more than 60 hours there in helping seniors on various things such as severing them foods and given them technology assistance. It was a great experience and I created special bonds with the people there. The volunteering experience and social impact has been highly rewarding. I plan to also seek opportunities to include aspects of social impact and helping others into the agenda of my overall college

Wes Moore. The guy that had a lot of obstacles through his life that got him where he is today, but he didn’t do it alone. Just like anyone you need to have a positive influence on your life. It could be anyone teacher, boss, parent, friend. Anyone that drives you to want to succeed and for Wes that was his mother, Joy.

And when things get harder or easier for me in life the things that he taught me I will always remember and never forget them this gave me a huge understanding of the people that just wanna become better, and those who dont wanna get better and achieve nothing. This goes from my intro from In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle. This shows how the captain of the team was pushing the team, and my personal mentor would be my coach on the way he pushed my team to finally win a state championship from the last state title being over 30 years ago
As Rutendo Gambe said in the video, “The future is within us,” and I want to improve the world for the better. Wellesley encourages its students to follow their passions. Consequently, I’d be able to implement large-scale projects to help others, such as building garden plots in refugee camps that lack food resources or holding free sports classes in low-income neighborhoods to encourage
Apart from regular course work, I volunteered at NGO, “Make A Difference”. We aim at eradicating illiteracy by educating unprivileged children. I’ve been a part of various blood donation camps at VIT and ARAI. I worked as a core-committee member of student’s chapter Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) and volunteered in college cultural fest Riviera under ISTE which helped me improve my communication and organisational skills. Due to such involvement in extracurricular, I developed the ability to comfortably work in heterogeneous groups and a lot of managerial skills like time management and team-work.

I learned to prioritize and stay on top of multiple projects while maximizing my service as a Student Worker. Working alongside with a team of enthusiastic individuals has taught me to always have a positive attitude and to be passionate about every aspect of the job. As a NYU CAS Transfer Orientation volunteer, I had a great experience collaborating with other dynamic team members. As a team of previous transfer students, we understood the fear, confusion, and uncertainty one could have as a new transfer. We incorporated our experience to design individualized activities to smoothen the transitions of the new transfers into the NYU community.
At Columbia, I especially hope to impact the local New York community through service, as with my extensive experiences as a Boy Scout, I have grown to love volunteer work to help the world. Since I first entered Scouting, I have always had the opportunity to participate in the various Eagle Scout projects of the troop, constantly learning new skills and enjoying my time working with my friends. My experiences in service eventually led to my own Eagle Scout project to design a water conservation system, helping a local garden and teaching younger scouts the basics of construction. At Columbia, the numerous volunteer opportunities to aid the city each allow me to contribute my efforts and leadership skills to benefit the local community, with
I joined the Service and Philanthropy committee last semester because I wanted to help bring service to Alpha Kappa Psi and change the way people view volunteering. When most people think of taking time out of their busy schedules to volunteer, they dread it. Some people
I am a first year student and I was looking for opportunities to be more involved in the Ryerson community. I do have experience in volunteering at an elementary school in the Peel District School Board and I personally enjoyed my time as a volunteer in the past. As a volunteer I had the responsibilities of grading test, assisting students that had difficulty with lessons, planning activities, and supervising students to ensure a safe working environment. My previous volunteer experience has allowed me to build good communication skills with children and teachers. I want to dedicate my time to helping support the youth in our community and hopefully in the process I will be able to make a difference in a students life by helping them overcome
Schooling: Although education is taught in schools, schools have a very different role than education as previously discussed. Schools should be the institutions in which our students are able to partake in a well-rounded curriculum-based education. Schools are the institution that should foster a physically and emotionally safe environment where students are able to express their developing ideas and emotions. This type of environment creates an academically nurturing atmosphere where students are allowed to express new ideas about their education but also a place where they can discuss their views on the world events around them. School institutions are a place that students are able to relate social events happening in the world.
Experience, according to Shakespeare, is “the teacher of all great things.” The best benefit about an experience is that its gains are not restricted to only one person. Not only can one gain knowledge, wisdom, and understanding from experience, but one can also use these experiences to reach and encourage others. Through my experiences in volunteering, sports, work, and life, I have become a contributor, collaborator, communicator, challenger, and enlightener. I am constantly trying to help and empower others, and I am excited to use my voice and experiences to contribute to the Towson community by introducing diversity, encouraging and motivating others with my life stories, and helping to challenge others to improve in particular areas of
Since my sophomore year, I have volunteered with the organization First Star, which works with children who are in foster care. I worked at their Greater Washington Academy, which aims to get high school aged foster kids in the DMV area thinking about college and helps prepare them for life outside of the foster system. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with these kids and watch them grow over the course of several years. Johns Hopkins’ focus on community service, especially the Presidential Day of Service, definitely increased my interest in the university. I care deeply about the communities I’m a part of, and I want a school that cares as well.
