Recommended: Essays on importance of cultural awareness

I'm so happy that our school runs a program like this that allows students to see the different cultures around the world. I would love to participate because I would love to see the culture and because when I grow up I hope to have a job that heavily involves speaking a different language. I have heard that when you immerse yourself into the culture you get a greater understanding of the language and I believe this could help me with the studies I intend to peruse. I have not participated in WMS community service but I feel this would be a great way to show me what it's all about and how I can help in my own community. I have participated in some community service outside of school. One thing I have done is made care packages for soldiers overseas. After I sent off my package I felt so happy that …show more content…

One other thing I did was help my sister sort through boxes of books for her book drive that they were sending to children's hospital. This made me feel great and the best part of that project was we got some photos in return of the kids with their books and the smile on their faces made me so happy and proud that I helped them get the books. I hope to gain an appreciation for everything I get the chance to have. Many people don't have all the luxuries that we can afford and I don't think that I have fully realized how lucky I am to have an education, family, house, clean water, and food. I think some challenges for me living in a different culture would be getting use to people live their daily lives. From what I have seen, their way of life is much different than ours and I think that going through life in their shoes will be an adjustment for me. I hope to learn how to comprehend and process the sentences quicker and possibly expand my Spanish vocabulary. The expectations I have for this trip is that I will get closer with some of the classmates, I would travel with and get closer to the

  • My Hispanic Background

    My first experience that involved contribution to a community was in an organization known as girls as pearls. In this organization we participated in many volunteer activities, both domestic and global such as making dresses for girls in africa or volunteering at the samaritan ministry. Consequently, this early volunteerism experience influenced my involvement in the community as a high school student. I became involved in organizations such as key club, an organization focused in volunteerism. Additionally, I began to tutor middle school students and volunteering at the local church. Many of the volunteer activities that I have participate in involved children and this due to the reason that I want to be able to become a positive guide and role model for children. I want to contribute to their motivation of continuing their education and to reach for goals that they believe they can achieve. As a hispanic american I have been provided the opportunity of experiencing life from two different viewpoints which has provided me with various life lessons that aided in my development in becoming a successful and well- rounded

  • Personal Narrative: My Transition To College

    244 Words  | 1 Pages

    My transition to college was successful, but it was nonetheless one of the most stressful times in my life. Unlike many of my peers at Saint Louis University, my rural high school experience did not truly prepare me for the academic rigors of college. Despite extensive preparation, I performed rather poorly on the first round of exams. While I didn’t fail any particular exam, my performance was seriously lacking. I knew that getting C’s on exams would not serve me well in the pursuit of my dream of becoming a physician. I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I was unintelligent and incompetent. I was also heavily fatigued from the excessive hours of studying, which I felt were necessary to reconcile the problem. I managed to

    People become involved in community service for different reasons and it is up to the individual to realize if it is worthwhile and why they are helping others.

    During one of my rides for work at O'SNAP, I passed by a group of students gathered around in a circle on the sidewalk. After dropping off my party, I drove by them to ask if they needed a ride. They accepted, but one of the students was visibly ill. I asked if they needed assistance to get back to their dorm, but they insisted they were fine. Due to the policy of NDSP, student drivers aren't allowed to bring back students who are ill due to insurance policies. The student insisted they were fine, but was unable to maintain balance and felt light headed. There was an unopened water bottle in the vehicle I was operating and offered it to the student. The other students with the student helped me lower the student to sit on the edge of the curb.

During the service, I understand and be familiar with the root of the American social issues, specifically, homelessness, food hunger, and developing neighborhoods.

    Getting prepared and ready to explore something new is just minor compared to the actual adventure for a senior anticipating the departure of their school trip. I was a member along with 30 other classmates of the co-curricular group called Business Professionals of America, a club organized through our school. Our teachers, club officers, and all of the members had been planning and fundraising for our trip to New York City for months. The excitement grew more and more as each day got closer to take off. All of us were anixious to see The Empire State Building, "Ground Zero," a Broadway play, and the spectacular views of gorgeous ocean sunsets. We had all been told and were aware of the different surroundings of the environment, or culture we would be experiencing when we arrived. Different cultures are common throughout the world, even in different places around the United States. Going on a trip to explore New York City really made the differences in cultures aware to me.

    Its a very useful, promising, and beneficial experience that every teen should want to be a part of. Volunteering gives people a sense of fulfilment, and the joy of knowing that so many people need help and being able to be that person to render those services makes a better person. Community service should not be a burden for any teenager, but a special gift being given to the community by a special individual. Community service should be a mandatory high school graduation requirement because it builds ones character, limits the rate of teenage delinquency, and establishes a path for a better future as an individual.
