I had the opportunity to spend my service learning hours with an amazing young lady by the name of Paige. Paige is 25 years old and has a twin brother and a younger brother who she recently lost to suicide. It affected her deeply and she now battles depression. Paige was born premature, 3 months before her due date and weighed in at a whopping .??ounces. From the gate Paige had complications and had open heart surgery at ?days old. Growing up Paige has had 17 surgeries on her legs, back and arms. Paige also has Cerebral Palsy. When first meeting Paige she comes across as a bit standoffish, she does not like to answer questions or start any conversations she like her comfort zone. Paige struggles with social anxiety so talking to people is a bit overwhelming for her and this may be why she tends to ignore people. Paige lives in a small town, has few friends and spend the majority of her time in her room. She does not have the opportunity to do many things so when we get together we plan to do as much as we possibly can. We planned our outings to include the things she wanted to do this trip. She loves the grocery store Winco so that was our first stop. She loaded up on candy it was nice to see that something as trivial as candy could make her so excited. It …show more content…
She even flirted with the cashier a little but her face went bright red. I hope she had as much fun with me as I did her. She even bought me a little thank you gift. I love spending time with Paige and wish we could spend a little more time together. We both have social anxiety and have kind of bonded over that. I want so bad to be able to volunteer my time to help others and at this time I struggle with it but I hope one day soon I will have the ability to volunteer. There are so many opportunities out there so this is a goal I am working towards but as for now i do my part behind the scenes such as donating
I plan on volunteering for many different organizations, that I am both currently working with, and plan to. For example, I participate in volunteer events for Special Olympic games, The Everett Theater, and St. Joseph’s Parish. By helping
I am writing this in hopes that this will serve as a testimony on Samantha Rowe’s behalf. I am hopeful that this will be considered as an adequate testimony in lieu of me being present. I have had the pleasure of knowing Samantha for three months, and I consider her a great person who places value on integrity and honesty. I also place emphasis on these values, and as a future school counselor, I desire to help people reach their maximum potential. As such, I am writing this not only to protect Samantha, but also in hopes of aiding _____ in receiving the help that she needs in order to succeed in her personal life.
Six Flags and the mine train. Near the middle or end of the summer my cousins and I were on facetime playing a game called ‘Growtopia’. We were talking and Ally told me that they were going to Six Flags on Sunday and that she and Abby could each bring a friend.
Over 28% of children in state care are abused while in the child care system. Once placed in foster care, a child is not always guaranteed to be safe from abuse. Ashley Rhodes-Courter was abused in one of the foster homes she was put in. She was starved and beaten almost on a daily basis when living in that home. Courter went through fourteen different foster homes and attended nine different schools in a span of nine years.
The reason I started volunteering was to experience what actually happens in the day to day lives of doctors. I wanted a better understanding of what being a doctor truly means. Being able to see all the action from the sidelines, but know you are helping that whole facility out
Foster the People is an indie rock band that was formed in 2009 in Los Angeles by Mark Foster. The group is comprised of three members, Mark Foster (multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter), Cubbie Fink (bass) and Mark Pontius (drummer). Mark Foster spent his early twenties struggling to become a known name in music. He became friends with Mark Pontius, who was a film student, and he decided to leave his band “Melbec” to found “Foster the People” with Mark Foster. Finally, they added Cubbie Fink, who was a friend of Mark Pontius.
Growing up on the border of inner city and suburban lifestyle I have seen many different things. The struggles, the triumphs, setbacks, but also the amazing comeups in life. Throughout everything that I have seen, I always wanted to help those who had fallen get back up and be one of the many people who encouraged and advocated for the ones who succeeded. My passion has stayed true for years to be the helping hand for my community and those generations who will come after me.
Julie beemed. “Very delicious.” her neighbor, Robert exclaimed. They all left and she closed the door, giggling slightly.
I love volunteering because even though you don't get money for helping someone, you get the joy and happiness of knowing you did something good for someone else. Being a member of Key Club and Junior Optimist I have the opportunity to volunteer frequently in the community and to the school. I have volunteered to work in various booths at the Glandorf Park Fest. I helped work at the YMCA Trunk or Treat to pass out candy to the little kids on Halloween. A group of my friends went over to Kalida to help with the Triathlon.
As for Service, I’ve always enjoyed aiding others in any way possible. I find a particular sense of fulfillment when I’m able to be of use to others. To me it’s so much more than getting the service done, it’s about making a difference in someone’s life. I come from a background where very few people helped my parents when
In the past I have helped my local Catholic Church. I did many hours of community service serving out dinner to Catholics, helping set up games for the youth, helping set up and clean up yard sales, and helping anyone in need of assistance. Currently I try to help students around me with homework, notes, and helping them understand a specific subject more. In the future I would love to donate to as much charities as I can. As I would have a stable job, I would be able to help those who are less fortunate by donating.
Having 180 volunteer hours has always been something for me to be proud of. Each summer I have taken time off of work and gone on mission trips all around the country and I hope to continue this when I go off to college at Texas A&M. I have a math brain and hope to use that to my advantage in the business world and in my future efforts to give back. My lifetime goal is to graduate Texas A&M with a business degree and to go out in the world making a difference for the company I work for, along with the organizations I donate to.
I want to earn my way up to a good university and earn my degree, apply to an outstanding dental school and start my long years of residency that lie before me. One of my goals in the future is to help others in need for medical attention. It makes me happy when I see others happy. I want to give back to my community and help others so I can earn the respect that I’ve always wanted.

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation
