Recommended: My community service project

Helping others and watching how they enjoy learning and how excited someone can get by learning something new is such a great feeling. That was the feeling that I would have when I volunteered to help Mrs. Cheryl and Mrs. Connie with the after-school migrant program for my job shadowing service and senior hours. I had never job shadowed before but it was such a great experience and it taught me more than I thought it would. I also volunteered for Mrs. Huffmaster, the art teacher here at MHS to paint windows around town for christmas. Volunteering for Mrs. Cheryl and Mrs. Connie was such a great experience, even though I it was also somewhat difficult for me. The after school program is offered for migrant students which they are mainly hispanic students and in different grade levels. When I first went and talked to Mrs. Cheryl to see if I could volunteer for her, I thought that the kids there would have not been as smart as others, or some of them would have not spoken english correctly many things crossed my head. Yet the first day I went and got to know them better I knew I was wrong, each and every one of those students were smart in their own ways. At first I also thought that I was going to have no patience with the kids, and then again I proved myself wrong, I loved being around them and helping …show more content…

Some challenges that I had was that the program had many grade levels and I could not keep up with what each student needed help with or what they had to study to improve. To overcome these challenges I helped each grade level at a time, I helped with kindergarten, then with 1st grade, 3rd grade, and 4th and so on. Having the privilege to help and see how the students improved made my happy. What surprised me the most in this experience was seeing how much a child can learn if you just have patience with them and try to show them that you actually care about them and their

  • Personal Narrative: Volunteering At A Soup Kitchen

    226 Words  | 1 Pages

    Volunteering at a soup kitchen is an eye opening. This was my first time volunteering, I didn't know what to expect. To be honest, I was kind of nervous. Once I got there I immediately started helping prepare food, there were five of us in total but three of them are usual's. They were all very organized and knew what to do in which order to do it. The kitchen was very clean which I didn't expect. After all the food was prepared, people started to come in to eat. They made a line and we started to serve them. They had option on what they wanted to eat, which I found really nice. We had burgers, spaghetti, chicken sandwich, green beans, Mac&cheese, salad, fruit salad, bread, dessert and of course some drinks. About 70 people showed up to eat.

    With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning

  • Black Fox Elementary Narrative

    Going into camp I knew we would be helping out a school and I did not think I would have fun or get anything out of the experience, but I was so wrong. Even when I was on my hands and knees stripping wax off a classroom floor, I was having a great time just knowing how much my work was helping Ms. Kim and Cody and everyday I looked forward to going back. We later found out that Cody was able to take a week long vacation because we got so much of his work done! After finding that out, I knew I had helped make a difference in Cody's life which made me feel so humble and honored that I could do that for him. During our work, Ms. Kim told us that around 70% of the Black Fox Elementary students live in poverty and cannot wait to come to school so they escape their troubles at home. Ms. Kim told us that those kids were going to be so excited to see how clean we got their school to be and I wish I could have seen their faces when they saw what we had done. I now look forward to volunteering and helping others because I know that I am making a difference in someone's life, which is a humbling and amazing feeling that I hope everyone can experience one

    Some say to make an impact on the globe you use the next generation. To create a great impact you teach them goodness and kindness, teachers are truly the key to a better future. For my job shadow experience, I went to Southgate Anderson High School to job shadow their band director, Toby Kmett. While I was there I observed what it was like to be a teacher, more specifically a full time band teacher. I say the term teacher because you may not teach band one hundred percent of the time. Who and the way you teach can change monthly.

  • Job Shadowing

    I selected to job shadow my mom actually because I couldn’t find anyone to shadow in the career that I wanted, so my only other choice was to do my mom. I wasn’t really too interested in doing that job at first, but that’s what I needed to do. I spent my day watching and helping my mom checking out stock systems and how it works. I was also able to use the office equipment. I wore nice black pants with a nice sweater. We left the building for lunch, and went somewhere else to eat, like my mom does a lot of the time. During the interview, I asked her the questions, and she answered, explaining as she went along, and I was not able to catch it all. So I learned a whole lot about the job by doing the interview. I left at about 2:00 to 3:00 (I am not too sure exactly when) because my mom had some important work she needed to do, that I really couldn’t help with. My favorite experience that day was actually finding out how stocks work, saving money, and information like that.

  • Shadowing Experience Research Paper

    A shadowing experience can be simply about ‘shadowing’, or it can be much more than that. There are obvious limitations to shadowing, but in that lays its strengths. A shadow is not responsible for any direct patient care, and therefore the shadow’s attention can be focused on active observation. What do I mean by ‘active’ observation? Studies have found that approaching a subject with a serious of questions, not only improves attention and memory, but it also positively changes the learner’s attitude. Using this approach, I hope to gain the best shadowing experience. By doing this I will learn not only the clinical side of a physician’s practice, but also the role of a doctor in the macrocosm that is a hospital. I have many questions regarding

  • Personal Narrative: I Volunteer As A Tutor

    251 Words  | 1 Pages

    I volunteer at an organization that is called Seattle Music Partners. It is an organization that arrange volunteer tutors with students who cannot afford to learn music. I am teaching the Clarinet to a student for about 3 years now. I teach not only the instrument, but I teach them how to read music and basic music theory. I have learned so many different things due to this experience. I learned how to communicate effectively and deliver my thoughts with strength. The most memorable thing that my student told me was that she would like to pursue her career in music because she learned the excitement of playing music. This is why I continue to volunteer as a tutor because I enjoy the fact that I became a contribution to someone else’s life.

    I have considered majoring in architecture, so for my job shadow, I wanted to job shadow an architect. Not knowing any architects off the top of my head, I asked Mrs. Starr if she knew of anyone because Mrs. Starr seems to know everyone. She connected me to a man named John Graham who said he would love to have me job shadow. Frankie Wright had also wanted to job shadow an architect, so we decided to do our job shadow together.

    For my leadership paper I chose to shadow Sean Ennist, the Operating Room Director of Premier Bone and Joint Center, Laramie. Sean is an RNFA, so he often scrubs into surgery, but the first day I shadowed him he was filling in for a circulator. Seeing him a role that he was not as confident in made him more vulnerable, honest, and easier to connect with. This encounter happened on my very first day of senior capstone, so it was a great start. Within seconds of knowing he was a leader, I knew I wanted to shadow him. Sean is someone, even in a vulnerable state, that everyone in the operating room and facility respects.

    I volunteered for Feed My Starving Children, an organizations that provides food for children in countries that are going through poverty and famine. My job was to help package the food. While volunteering, I met some new people who played an important role in the organization. I learned hunger is a big problem that affects many children, families, and communities. I feel like my action was valuable to the community as I helped provide food for families. This service project has opened my eyes to issues that are happening around the world and how many communities need help. After volunteering, I began to be encouraged to be more actively engaged in the community.

  • Reflection For A Service Learning Project

    For my service learning project, I went to Jan Brzechwy Polish School to volunteer. I had a great experience, and I did not expect it to go that smoothly. This experience allowed me to visit the same Polish school that I attended for twelve years every Friday night. Although it was hard giving up my Fridays to learn Polish, I am so grateful that I did because knowing the language that my parents know and communicate with is rewarding even though we primarily speak in English to each other. The students primarily spoke English to us because they knew how, but I did speak Polish to some of the students who were working on their assignments. This experience was beneficial because I was able to help students one on one and see them become more comfortable.

    I have had the great opportunity to be apart of a great program and class at college. Most of us who are going to become teachers know about this class and the required 80 hours of volunteering at a middle school for a semester. I was eager to volunteer, because I have experience in working with middle school kids. The school I work for, has prepared me to handle school aged kids, so I was relying on my background to carry me though the semester at a new Middle school.
