    Throughout my high school career, I have spent countless hours volunteering to my community. Being apart of multiple clubs and organizations, I have had several opportunities to help out those in need. Any time I have the opportunity to give back to my community is incredibly rewarding and enriching, and I absolutely love volunteering my time to help others. However, one opportunity in particular has truly changed my life. After one of my basketball practices, my coach asked a few girls if they could volunteer their time to coach a recreational basketball team. Seeing that there were few volunteers, I stepped up with my sister and we took on the challenge of coaching a 5th grade basketball team. I hoped I could teach them how to play hard and be someone they could look up to. Little did I know that the girls would be the ones to teach me some true life lessons.

  • What Volunteering Can Teach You

    950 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...teer experience. I highly recommend volunteering to anyone, because of all the great things it will teach and because of the positive impacts it make on one’s life. Volunteering will teach an individual many of life’s greatest lessons, and lets an individual grow into a better person. Volunteering teaches to let go of their ignorance and false notions of world problems and lets the volunteer learn about the real, and sometimes unattractive, condition of people in the world. Many people think that one person cannot make a difference in the world, but volunteering teaches a person to at least try to make a difference in one person’s life and to build on that. Additionally, volunteering teaches a person to be leader who can inspire others to volunteer. Volunteering is an incredibly didactic experience that will forever inspire the volunteer to be a better person.

    I started working with children, adolescents, and their family when I was fourteen-years-old.

Through different community service opportunities, I either learned something new about myself or I was reassured something. These qualities include that I am creative, reliable, open-minded, passionate, and an effective team player. Community service changed my life by developing my character through enhancing my transferable skills, which allowed me to see the world differently. Everyone, from all walks of life, needs to in some way, shape, or form give back to the community because it will not only benefit the less fortunate but it will benefit the volunteers as well.
