    One of the most beneficial service experiences I had was service at the humane society. I chose it initially for the aspect of being around animals, but it was also a great opportunity to gain my hours efficiently, since a single weekend could result in 10 hours of work. Those hours were due to the fact that several dozen cats and dogs there require a great deal of maintenance. Besides tending to the obvious needs of them, such as cleaning their kennels and providing food and water, they also needed to be walked and played with. Volunteering there allowed me to help the other people there simultaneously.

    I have performed community service in the past, for example building shelters for poor kids in Tainan in 6th grade as well as a donation program called Max which provides toys and school materials for schools in rural China and spending a week there to interact with the kids. Both of these services gave me a better understanding of how fortunate we are and how it’s more of an obligation rather than a choice to help the less fortunate around you. Regarding teaching experiences, I haven’t performed official outside of school classroom teaching, however, in middle school when I was still attending Shanghai American School, there was a buddy program where we got assigned to lower school buddies. This program required us to interact and provide help to lower school children and address any concerns they may have on their schoolwork or even troubles outside of school and were required to meet at least once a month. Although this experience wasn’t a relationship between the fortunate and those in need, it was an experience in which I learned the need of a relationship between young and older kids.
