Personal Narrative: Volunteer At A Food Bank

I always had high hopes for my community and my people but never did it cross my mind that the area I came to know and love would be stolen right out of my hands. I want people to understand that gentrification won’t unite our city, it will only divide us more. As a small business owner, I take pride in helping my community, but as time goes on I notice the community I have known and loved began to change. I have seen my neighbors moving out and throwing away their dreams of being able to expand their businesses.

Not using Foresight also isn’t used by everyone and is what causes fear for many in modern day society and long ago for Elie’s family when they could have left their home and never had to experience anything they did, but instead chose to stay out of the fear of

At the end, after washingg the dishes, I felt so happy, and it had been such a humbling experience that trully changed my life forever. Ever since that day, whenever I see a homeless person, I see them completely different. I thuink back to that day, and how happy they were to get that one meal, and how happy I was to see them happy. Usually I beg my mom or dad to giv them money or food, but when that fails, I just try to smile at them and let them know that I care. I have even given out a care package to a homeless couple before, and seeing their happiness made day so much better.

Therefore, my mother played both parenting roles. Which made things tough. It was not the best situation, but it has molded, and benefited me in many ways: For starters, it taught me how to survive with a limited supply of food, money, and/or resources, etc. My family was not rich, but as my mother would often say, we were “one paycheck away from being poor.” My sisters and I never went to bed hungry, but I can remember on numerous nights we had to be creative with making dinner to feed our four family household.

The business school didn’t teach him how to get the job done and execute the decision. His courage can also be known from the fact that he was not prepared to deal with people who didn’t have the training he did, or the desire to succeed as he did. The leaders need to exhibit great courage at work (Econetwork, 2015). With additional support task I was provided with, the challenges and the opportunities were great. I kept on with the will mover and the courage I had within me.

My job at the foodlion grocery store in Roebuck was an unenjoyable working experience to say the least. When I first began working at Foodlion the job was fun and I enjoyed it but as time went on it got worse and worse. As time went on the longer I worked there the more disrespectful my co-workers and supervisors got.

Sitting there spoon and food in hand, they had no option but to trust a stranger with their life, for they were dependent on me for their next bite. Sitting there feeding them I realized that they had every reason to be hopeless, every reason to be angry at the world, myself, and God, but they carried no such emotion. They radiated joy and love to me a complete stranger. They welcomed me to their house with open arms, and the least I could do was give them food. So as I continued through the week, I had the opportunity to show Haiti what amazing people they were.

For me, from the moment of the election of the Service Learning Project, I didn't like the simple fact of having to “work for free,” and the idea was transformed into a boring activity to do with the mere purpose of completing the project. However, as I started to help at the food pantry, I became aware of how wrong I was and my opinion about the social service changed, I realized how the simple fact of providing support to the most disadvantaged groups of society, was very

In family owned businesses, nepotism comes to play, and family members are reluctant to let outsiders into their fold. To be successful a business, Plato’s Diner needs to employ qualified manager and accountant. Chris and Dean needs to employ a professional manager to oversee the daily operations of the business since they both lack the skills to do so. Since both brothers are excellent cooks they should stick to that aspect of the business.

Being In Honduras summer ago, the people I met were just getting by in their life or they did not have much for their next meal, but they were the kindest people I have yet to meet. They offered help to one another when they possibly could. They thought about others before they thought of themselves. The Honduran people had such joy to life, even if they were struggling to get by through the month. Seeing people over here in the United States, who just always try to make their life seem difficult because they want more out of it, some for greed, you can tell how different these two places are.

I volunteered at Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, an emergency food pantry, in Wilmington, North Carolina from 2012-2016. Throughout my four years of service, I learned how to handle almost all of the jobs available to volunteers, including packing packages for families with a stove or no-stove individuals, teaching new volunteers about the Cupboard and the jobs available, checking patrons in at the front desk, preparing hygiene supply packages for patrons, and working at various tables in the front to distribute various additional food to patrons. I am interested in serving on the Feed the Pack Leadership Team because I want to expand the overall impact and efficiency of Feed the Pack. I am committed to service and I want to lead a life of serving others, and I believe that working on the FTP Leadership team will allow me to continue to maximize my service efforts in the community and beyond.

The average lifespan in the United States is approximately 78 years. Isn’t it crazy that one singular event that may only last 10-15 minutes can radically change that life? Many people experience these events that cause a dramatic switch in the path of their life. I had one of these life changing events at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on a trip to Washington D.C. when I was in 6th grade.

Northeastern Illinois have a food pantry located in building E in room E50. The food pantry was founded by the student Advocacy Program. They have created an emergency relief system to support NEIU students experiencing food insecurity. The Student Food Pantry seeks donations of nonperishable items and personal hygiene products to help the students who is in need of them. These donations are a collaborative effort among NEIU faculty, staff, and students.

I learned something very important as I visited and did research on Palm Beach Atlantic University; it is a place where the spiritual aspect of my life could be an integral part of my college experience. I believe that at PBA. , I can achieve both my short- and long-term goals as someone who wants to follow in the path God has laid out for me. I look forward to intertwining my Christian beliefs with my academic and social endeavors at PBA, knowing that God has his hand on my shoulder leading me in the right direction. The morals and policies of the school fit me as an individual because I choose to be involved with activities that contribute to my personal and spiritual development.
