Recommended: People testimonies about how community service taught them about leadership

In this chapter I will talk about how I would also like to be remembered for helping out others if needed or even when it's not needed. Also I would like to be remembered for being a good leader whenever I can. I've found that usually the smaller things are what people appreciate more often because there isn’t much that I or many other people can do as far as major things. Some small things I like to do could be as small as holding the door open for a man or woman that are walking behind me or rushing ahead of them to open it as a nice gesture or if they might need help such as if they would to be carrying something. Other than the small things, and example of a more bigger thing that I do to help others involve helping a family member or friend more or helping out my older neighbors in the winter by shoveling and salting their sidewalks without asking them to pay me for it because I think it would be morally wrong for me to watch and not ask them if they would like help or do nothing whatsoever. …show more content…

When I was younger, helping people wasn't as big or important to me as other things such as playing with toys or messing around with my family but now it's important to me enough to the point where I think it's even more important than playing and messing around do to the different people you can meet while helping out, and the way it feels when you make somebody else happy by doing something as small as handing them something that could have fell out of their

    For instance, last year, I volunteered at an organization to take care of kids and help them with their homework. One day, I worked with a kid who was 5 years old. I helped him with his math homework and taught him how to add and subtract. I taught him patiently and carefully. After we were done, the kid learned how to add and subtract, and he told his mom what he learned. Then the kid’s mom came to me and said “Thank you” with a smile directed to me. At that time, I felt really happy, valuable, and helpful. This kind of happiness was different than the other happiness because this happiness came from helping others. When I feel happy, I am more willing to help. I am so proud that I made a good decision because I have found out the true significance of volunteering.

    When I first volunteered at the pantry I was just a young boy. I chose to volunteer my time to the food pantry because they are my church and I always wanted to be able to help people in need. Ending hunger, not only in our community, but in America is important to me. The thought of a child without a meal is truly heartbreaking. I couldn’t imagine being in need of food and shelter. Just a small amount of help can make such a huge difference. That is only one of the many ways of helping out in our

    The next tip is “give honest and sincere appreciation.” A recurring theme in this book, is that people want to feel like they are important. There is a driver forcing you to do everything in life.

When people show up to events because of a promotion I created, it makes me feel important and gives me a sense of fulfillment. Such is the case when dealing with others. If they know they are appreciated, they will feel important and will continue doing a good job in the future.

    A humble leader that does the right thing day in and day out is an example I try to set every day. I do not wish to be spoke of by name like 1LT Audie Murphy, or have a club dedicated to me. I would like to see the values I have instilled in my Soldiers spread to the next generation of Soldiers in the future. To me, legacies are born when a Soldier will thank their leader at promotion speeches or award ceremonies. If future Soldiers can thank the leaders I have trained, then I will know I have done my part and my legacy will live on.

    All my life I have known that I was placed on this earth to help people. As far as I can remember, I have been doing things to help other people. From helping my mother in the kitchen, to assisting my friends in class, I have always felt joy in my heart helping other people. Furthermore, at a young age, my father would take me and my other siblings to food kitchens and other nonprofits organizations gear towards helping the needed to volunteer. While volunteering, I was unaware of the fact that the seed of compassion was being planted into my heart. As a child, I learned how to love people and to help those who are in need.

  • Application for National Honor Society

    I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.

    I started volunteering at the food bank and the soup kitchen in grade 9, with a nudge from my friend. During my time as a volunteer, I would ask for donations and collect any non-perishable food items. Later I would go to the Soup Kitchen, to help cook some of these items and serve them to those in need. My volunteering experience allowed me to experience the environment and face situations that I otherwise would not. It opened my eyes to the harsh reality and lifestyle that many individuals in our society face today. My time at the food bank and Soup Kitchen helped me understand the importance of giving, ...

    I think that it is important for me to look around and ask myself what kind of things I can do to help my country. Recently, at school, we collected money for the Red Cross. We had to explain over and over to the students that it didn't matter if you gave one dollar or twenty dollars. Whatever you give will help others and be appreciated. Even though I am too young to make a big impact on the people involved in the tragedy, I feel like my small part may have let them know that people everywhere care.

  • Moral obligation to help

    For instance, it was an extremely sunny day in Ghana, West Africa, and I had gone out to the well to fetch water. It was while carrying the bucket of water on my way back that I noticed my neighbor’s children fighting over the insufficient amount of food that they had to share. My family and I were not rich but from what I saw, I knew that we were better off than other people I knew. I carried the bucket of water inside the house and came back outside to call the two youngest children that were fighting over the last grain of food. I shared my food my food with them and though it was not sufficient for all, feeding the younger ones alone was better than not helping any one of them at all. There was only little that I could possibly do but by sharing, I had helped them in a great way, even if it was just for the time being.

    Helping Hands has helped my family in the past. Several years ago my family was struggling with income and Helping Hands was generous enough to help us pay our electric bill. I chose to volunteer at Helping Hands because I wanted to give back to the program. At the time, it seemed like there was little value in sorting piles of toys but then the manager shared with me that many children would be very happy to receive these toys for Christmas. This one comment helped me to put it all into perspective. Volunteering isn’t about me; it is about playing an active in the community. Bringing joy to families who are suffering, giving hope to the hopeless.
