Recommended: Strengths of community service

The service experience that I enjoyed the most was the Festivice. The Festivice is run by the Special Olympics of York County and was held on January 16, 2016 in downtown York. While I was volunteering at the Festivice, my friends and I had to run the ice sled and supervise kids going on the bouncy house. At the ice sled, I had to collect the sleds after they have been used and return them back to the top. I also had to catch kids at the end of the ice hill. While at the bouncy house, I had to set a timer for three minutes , so that every kid gets a fair amount of time to play in the bouncy house and I had to supervise the kids. My practical skills that helped me perform these tasks our my responsibility, strength, and kindness. All of these

    I believe that all of my other strengths previously discussed contributes to responsibility. Without responsibility I could not be organized, consistent, understanding of different views, etc. I am consider myself very responsible, I like to complete tasks that I am committed to and follow through with them. If I break a commitment, I feel as if I have to make it up to that person by doing more, through actions, not just words. I have a conscious for doing the right thing no matter what the situation. I like to volunteer myself for more things than I probably should. For example, this trimester I volunteered to create and manage a GroupMe app for my Medical Terminology course. I already have enough school work going on to be head of a group messaging app, but I like to help others out and I knew that I could manage the app well because I have used it for so long. Having this strength, though, will allow me to work with others and for them to know that I am going to follow through.

    This was able to improve speaking to people or in front of them such as I would do in presentation. This satisfied me and made me feel good because in way, this was community service. I was also able to create bonds with the students I taught. Every Time I see them, they wave to me now or come up to me and give me a hug. This reminds me that helping others can really impact your day and change your mood in a good way. Volunteering in this event was able to extend and enhance my knowledge in leadership as well grow new experiences and develop better communication skills. Other than personally benefitting me, this benefited me in school. In high school, you are required to help others in the form of community service hours. For example, I can tutor at Kimball in my strongest subject. I found doing this assignment a great experience for preparing me for future years as well as teaching me what I can improve

    For me, service projects became a part of who I am when I was able to travel to Haiti after my sophomore year of high school. Before anyone arrives to a third world country they must prepare themselves. However, no textbook or website would prepare for the next week of my life. While in Haiti, we helped to construct a school for the local children that would also double as a church. I am not going to lie, the heat in Haiti is the worst I have ever had to

    ... time spent volunteering for Girl Scouts and the Pulaski Food Pantry. At Girl Scouts, I learned that the things I teach young people in our society can greatly impact what happens in the rest of their lives--for example, the things I taught the little girls about first aid would help them to know what to do if a situation arose, and they would be able to handle it correctly because of my help. I also learned that I can influence others to help out in their community, as I did when I spoke to the group of Junior Girl Scouts about their bronze award. At the pantry, I learned that something as simple as packing food into bags can help feed families in need, and not all community service needs to be boring work. It provided me with a greater insight on families not so fortunate as mine and how I don’t need to do something huge and extravagant to help out in my community.

    I never thought that I would have fun teaching and serving others. But that could also be to me having close friends around me. It was a great experience, now I just hope young kids would change their attitude to their elderly, because I wanted to smack them so hard but I didn't. I refrained myself. But I served them food, taught them how to defend themselves, and had a fun time while I was there. Not only is it good exercise, because it felt like was running track before the season even started, but it will help me with my college application.

    Volunteering at a camp for serving food to the homeless children was a great opportunity. The camp was organized by a not for profit organization and gave an opportunity to high school students to volunteer. They do not approach the students directly, they do it through high school.

    A reflection of my volunteering experience can be summarized in two words: Life-changing. It is hard to explain the feelings that occur when you involve yourself in selfless acts for your community, such as volunteering. There is a feeling in your heart that you cannot ignore, maybe it is the happiness you feel or the overflow of emotions in helping others. In other words, it is a feeling in which you want to share with others. Maybe with a friend, maybe a classmate, maybe a family member, or maybe even a stranger. Either way, spreading how life-changing volunteering can be is a great start to making a positive change in your community by simply by involving others.

    I volunteered at East Parkside Nursing Home through my church 's mentoring program. At first, I was somewhat uncomfortable volunteering at a nursing home because my great-grandfather, among many others, was mistreated in a nursing home. But, as the day went on and we engaged in activities with the residents, I eventually calmed down and got into the smooth of things. We had one-on-one contact with the seniors, and we learned about their lives and families. One of the seniors was a veteran who fought in the Vietnam War and he told all of the volunteers a few short war stories. For several residents, their families rarely visited them, so they genuinely appreciated the volunteers spending time with them. Later, we made holiday cards and sang Christmas carols for the senior citizens. They seemed so elated and pleased, which made me feel so fulfilled that I could make someone 's day by doing something so
