Personal Statement: Where Did I Volunteer

397 Words2 Pages

Where did I Volunteer? Originally I wanted to join an organization for my volunteer experience (similar to how I had done in the past) but after contacting organizations myself, it seemed too difficult just to choose a time and date for when I volunteered. Instead of an organization I choose to do my volunteer work and spend my time around my own neighbourhood, at Mackenzie Park.
What did I do: For my volunteer experience I choose to go inside Mackenzie forest and pick up any type of litter that I could see, this included dog poop, litter, bottles, cigarette and apparently pregnancy testes?
I must admit, sometimes when I am annoyed about carrying something in my hands while I’m walking in town or in the forest, sometimes I accidently forget

  • Summary: Lone Tree Retirement Center

    363 Words  | 2 Pages

    On Monday, October 12, 2015 I went with a group of girls to the Lone Tree Retirement Center to complete two hours of community service. We walked in thinking that we would be painting nails and playing games with the residents, but instead we were met at the door by Leon and instructed to paint parking spots. Leon led us outside to the materials and gave us the full instructions of how to complete our task. Our task consisted of four people the first person would scrape the old paint off, the second would broom the dirt and debris off, the third would roll the new paint onto the lines, and the fourth would push the paint cart. My job consisted of scraping the old paint and brooming the dirt off, so that new paint could be applied.

  • Personal Narrative: Intercity Salvation Army Core

    In the summer of 2013 at a family barbeque I nonchalantly asked my aunt if there was any way I could volunteer at her job, an intercity Salvation Army Core, throughout the week. Asking this simple question that I initially didn’t put much consideration into, steered to far more than I could had ever anticipate. I projected what my experience would be like at the core playing out different scenarios in my head. I expected it to be similar to every other volunteer experience I had, simply assist the employees and perchance meet a few people along the way. I thought I would be working in a back pantry categorizing and bundling foods into care packages having minimal encounters.

Throughout my education experience, I’ve noticed that students who struggled more in academics tended not to care and teachers would be frustrated. I noticed that these students needed more of a support system and motivation. I decided to help these students by volunteering at schools. For example, I volunteer at Image elementary and a program called La Plaza.

    Often in life, we come across situations that may stretch us and challenge us, finding ourselves forced to get out of our comfort zone. Volunteering is definitely not for everyone, people may not have the adequate time, confidence, knowledge. But that does not mean you avoid the situation at all times, you must allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience things that you would never think about doing. On the first week of volunteering it was a bit intense for me, as I found it difficult and little bit sad to watch the women living the way they do, for some reason I felt that they were always missing their children and grandchildren. Some of the residents did not even have family so they never got visitations.
