Poverty can be a choice or a last resort for many across the globe. The Glass Castle a memoir written by Jeannette Walls, portrays how her family rejected civilization and embraced poverty. I felt Rex Wall’s notion of “sink or swim” (Page 66) portrays the failure and success of having a family. The situation in the Wall’s hopes manifested itself as a Glass Castle, a mysterious glass house the family would hope to build and live in. In order for the family’s dream to succeed, they would have to face many demons on the way. Throughout the book, I protested against some of the choices that were made, but I soon came to an understanding that some people will not change the way they live. I kept on thinking there always a possibility that there is always a cure to a problem, but sometimes there is too little time or understanding on both sides. A common theme that kept on going
The hope food pantry in Chicago consisted of a lot of preparation. we have to make sure we have enough food on what they thought how many people on average was going to show up. We had to bag the food.
This past summer, I acquired an internship at Baldwin and Lyons, an insurance company in Indianapolis. Every Wednesday during my internship, a couple of employees and I participate in a prodigious community service project, Meals on Wheels. Throughout the three months that I worked at Baldwin and Lyons, I got acquainted with some of the individuals whom we delivered to. These inspiring individuals were so grateful and appreciative that we took time out of our day to volunteer to do such a service. One elderly woman who we delivered to would sing to us as she came to the front door “good meals, good meals, good meals.”
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
News spread of Alexandra and that she was dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world held their own lemonade stands and donated the money they made to Alex and her family. This helped the foundation reach a goal of $1 million dollars raised to help children battling cancer.
We got to do an obstacle course. We also had a water slide and snow cones. My favorite part about last years was the dodge ball tournament. For this year I am hoping we can get two water slides. It was fun with one, but it would be even better with two.
I applied to become the President of one of our school's club, FCCLA (Family, Career, Community, Leaders of America) and I ended up being the co-President with another fellow student. FCCLA has a popular community service event called, Taste of Chelan Restaurant Walk. The objective of the event is to help local business in our small town promote their restaurant and one of their dishes for tourists who come in for this event and locals who participate. I have done this event for about three years now, every time I participate I end up meeting different types of people. This event helps our community by prompting business during the slower times like Fall and Winter, and I am a proud active member of FCCLA that has helped this event.
We raised almost $2000 from just private donations. These are from local businesses to individuals. We sent letters to local businesses and I was getting phone calls day after day. These people wanted to support the Piggyback Foundation and this is how the awareness spreads. That is our goal, people need to know about this foundation, so they can give to them. Our individual donations were on a different level this year. We are blessed to have caring community members and this senior project would not be the same without them. At St. Paul, we have had many families helped by The Piggyback Foundation. My mother, Allison Smith explains “that is why it is important to educate our school and community how important it is to support this local foundation.” I am proud of what we could do for this awesome foundation and I give thanks to the community for so much
expenses. It takes a lot of fundraising to help and this event was one of the hundreds held
On Thursday January 21, 2016, I watched Lori Hart present on alcohol safety in the Student Union Auditorium. I had mixed emotions going into the presentation. On the one hand, I was a bit disappointed with the topic. It is very redundant, especially for freshman due to Alcohol Edu and the S.W.A.T. presentation first semester. I understand that it is a truly necessary and popular topic on college campuses because of the tendency of underage and excessive drinking. On the other hand, I was open-minded and excited. I can always learn something new from each opportunity given to me if I am willing. Plus, I had no plans that evening, my homework was done, and I got to spend time with my favorite Levis Leadership friends.
I had to plan fun events, but also make them very inexpensive. This was an
We, Aimee Johnson and Jessie Virnig, along with Amy Wilson and Shawn Klimek, decided to try to give the homeless a little hope. The week before Christmas we went door to door and collected food for the local homeless shelter. We decided to focus on collecting food because around the Christmas season, a lot of emphasis is put on toy drives and people sometimes overlook the fact that the homeless still need to eat. In order to broaden our research, we decided to collect food from more than one group of people. We went to an average middle class neighborhood and to a college dormitory. Before we went out into the neighborhood and dorms, we prepared a thank you letter to give to everyone explaining to them who we were, to tell them that we were collecting food for the homeles...
While only a small percentage of the entire workforce was able to participate in the event, its intention was to provide employees with something to strive toward. It was also rejuvenating for those given the opportunity to attend. The event was inspiring and left you with the feeling that you work for a great company and they do care about you; so much so that they are willing to spend a lot of money and provide you with a wonderful experience . The event also focused heavily on the driving force of the company: the students and helping them to improve and change their lives. Employees returned to work feeling inspired and ready to do just that. The event provided the company with an opportunity to invest in their employees, reward them, and make them feel
This campaign helped improve my project management skills as I always had many moving parts that I had to organize and keep track of. Additionally, much of the work to achieve my goal was done by others that I led. I had actors for a video, a marketing consultant, a librarian, a health educator and many others working on my "team". Managing volunteers is never easy
I will fund my exhibit through donations and sales. I would reach out to the community, explain my exhibit and ask for donations, but I would primarily generate revenue through selling items related to the exhibit like prints of the works being shown, creative posters, key chains, t-shirts and other mementos. Additionally, I would have bake sales and fairs and other activities of a similar nature.
