Recently, I started volunteering at a local geriatric facility which is part of Peconic Bay Medical Center. I used to do this while in high school, and I forgot how much I thoroughly enjoyed it. The geriatric patients are so grateful to have you there whether it’s listening to a story about their grandchildren, playing cards to entertain them, or telling them a funny joke. I have not seen more appreciation from any patients that I have encountered than from them. When I help those that cannot help themselves, I am buoyed by a sense of purpose unmatched in my other life pursuits.
I Jenan Rizk, try my best everyday to make a difference in the world. I always try to help people who need it, whether it be physically or mentally. I also love to do volunteer work because I love the feeling of doing selfish acts. The joy and excitement I get after I finish is what keeps me going. Here are a few places I’ve volunteered at: Troubled Teen Center, Crush Cancer Tournament, Canned Food Drive, and more.
That’s what makes being a Physical Therapist so great; the atmosphere is always positive because everyone is trying to improve, even if a little help is needed. I use the knowledge I learned in college and even when I was a patient to give my patients the best care possible for their specific injuries. When my patients are finally recovered, I get an amazing feeling because I helped them get back on their feet, sometimes literally. I was once in the shoes of my patients. The summer before eleventh grade, I broke my ankle and I was determined to get better as fast as I could.
There are many reasons why I would like to earn a scholarship for Pensacola Children’s Chorus. I believe, and have been told, that I strongly expemplify most of the traits, if not all, that are desired in PCC scholarship winners. For one, I am known as a very positive and energetic person, and preforming is my passion. I am very happy doing it, even when I have to sing and dance for hours on end. I can’t imagine myself doing much else with my life than preforming, acting, singing, etc.
To the Pittsburgh Make a Wish Chapter, I write in response to your Program Service - Wish Team Spring 2018 Internship. With my previous experience, I can bring a confident, approachable, and hardworking attitude to this role. My experience with The Enchanted Tea Pot makes me an excellent candidate for the Program Service - Wish Team internship position. With the company, I work every weekend making kids Disney dreams come true. I have volunteered at children 's hospitals near my home town of York, Pennsylvania as many princesses to bring the children joy.
These internships helped me get an inside perspective of how nurses go above and beyond their everyday duties to ensure patient care, setting a standard for me to go above and beyond in terms of my education, my service to others, and in life. With the changes in college tuition having increased and state support for college students having taken a decrease over the last couple of years, this scholarship would benefit me tremendously in my goals to continue my education.
However, my favorite volunteering experience was getting to be a “Buddy for Special Olympics”. I was paired with a young girl named Kara with Down Syndrome and the biggest appreciation for life. I walked her to each of her events and cheered her on from the sideline. Even when she didn’t technically win she was so grateful for the opportunity to compete. She gave me a different outlook on life and taught me how to be grateful for every opportunity that comes
Medical Assisting Is For Me! Working as a medical assistant can be extremely exciting, all the new things that you can learn all throughout your career and it all starts with school! After I worked as a medical assistant, for about a year, I decided to expand my scope of knowledge, to get certified and begin a career as a certified medical assistant. The diversity, the stable career, the ability to support my son and me, and to allow us to live an independent lifestyle was a major attraction for this career field. The medical assistant career is a good fit for my personality because I greatly enjoy helping others, keeping busy and learning new things.
Through my participation in team experiences with cross country, tennis, theatre, and community service groups, I have learned that teamwork might not always be easy, but is necessary in order to achieve the group’s goals.
I have built such a strong connection and bond with my mentee that they feel comfortable to open up to me about their problems and how it makes them feel. She now looks at me as a person to confide in, and wants to be a future mentor. I cannot explain how this program has impacted my life, and how it has given me the ability to help fix problems in my
