186 Words1 Page

I did the volunteer blitz, which consists of a bunch of different activities including making cards, owls, turkeys, package for jumpstart etc.The most important part of the day was knowing that these simple acts of kindness would brighten up someone’s day. I learned that a simple thing like creating a card will change someone’s life for the better. There were many different activities that we could have done during the Blitz. I made some cards for veterans and also children who were in the hospital. I also made turkeys for old people’s homes to put on their walls in their rooms. We only made the items and someone else brought them over, so I’m not sure how they reacted, but I’m sure that it put a smile on their face. Everyone worked together

    The Blitz was the period of continuously strategic bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Hitler’s fear of not having control over Britain led to beliefs that Britain would eventually become a base for his enemies to attack him from. When France fell to Germany in 1940, Hitler’s aims were turned on Britain. He believed that if he destroyed the RAF Britain would no longer have any defence against an invasion. Hitler also wished to disrupt Britain’s economy and industry and many industrial cities were hit.

    When I was just a brownie, Girl Scouts was mostly about getting the prettiest patches for my sash and selling the most boxes of cookies, but over the years it has evolved into a much more meaningful activity. At the end of middle school and the start of high school, we did events such as preparing and serving meals at the Branford soup kitchen and organizing crafts for visits to the Ronald McDonald house in New Haven. Both of these events have greatly broadened my understanding of service to the community. While doing fundraisers or various drives are of unparalleled importance, literally interacting with the people my service is aimed to help allowed me to understand how donating a small fraction of time can be a way to try and better someone else’s day. Our troop has also been involved in other projects like fundraising for the local foundation Hope For Raptors, a group dedicated to protecting native birds and educating the community about them.

    The 7th of February was a rather calm and not so busy day for FVL Truppenführer Preston Connelly and Truppenführerin Gudruna Hurley, compared to Lucas Fields, Adelburger Walther Schäffer and the other FVL leaders. Having been to the RGA repository known as Schloß Schwarzenstein, the two scouts decided that it was time for them to figure out what their respective Foreign Volunteer Legions’ specialties would be. They discussed about it inside their personal quarters within Underworld, making note of everything they said to each other in the process. “Gudruna,” Connelly said to her, “I know that you are a girl scout, and I a boy scout, but something tells me that having ourselves try and learn something new to contribute to the RGA war effort, would not be as conducive as making good use of our expertise that they already have mastered.”

    We would prepare and serve food for homeless people. This was an impactful and eye opening experience for me. The people we served were so grateful and even though they did not have much, they had their faith. This experience ties into Psalm 23 because it exemplifies the message that the Lord loves and cares for all his people; followers of Christ should help other followers. I think God means for us all to help one another so we can all progress and become closer to Him.
