Recommended: Impact of giving back to communities

Giving back to others is essential in today’s day and age, to give back means so much to others, its truly such a great deed to do. I have never really had the opportunity to give back to the others but I have seen others do it many of times and in the future I plan on giving back to others more when the opportunity presents itself. There so many things I want to do for everyone who’ve gave me everything that they could I was growing up, it’ll mean a lot to me to give back to them. As a kid I had the opportunity to witness first hand my Mother give her Mom everything that she had deserved for taking care of her. My Grandma has lived with me ever since I was born and it is all because of my Mom, she had invited her to live with us so that my …show more content…

In my 18 years of living, they’ve given me every little thing that I have ever asked for, it’ll only be right to take them out and give them whatever they desire. I want to help families who aren’t fortunate enough to give their kids school supplies, Christmas gifts, thanksgiving etc. I see many athletes in today’s day and age always give back to their communities, it may not mean a lot to them but to the families who receives the stuff it means a lot, seeing them with a smile on their faces and seeing that they’re truly grateful for being able to celebrate the holidays or give their child the best opportunity to succeed later in life. I believe nothing beats seeing that smile, one of my college professors said that the best feeling he has ever experienced was being able to buy his mother a house so she’ll never have to work another day in her life and being able to give back to his community in which he was born in. When I had heard how he described those feelings it really started to make me think that if I want to make a difference in this world then eventually I’ll have to give back to the communities that I have lived in and help give young kids the chance to better their lives. I don’t want to give back just for the attention, I want to do it because it means a lot to the people you help out and that feeling should feel second to

    ...u have been successful in your lifetime. I think that people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everything in their own lives that they neglect other people. Donating clothes, shoes, and jackets from your closet that you haven’t worn in a year is enough to make a difference. I think it is extremely important that people set aside time to give back to their community at least once a month because you really do get back more than what you put in.

    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.

    People need to contribute time to important causes like community service, and volunteer work. On a few occasions, I volunteered at a food pantry, and it was a very humble, and valuable experience for me, an experience I will never forget. It was heart breaking to see all the people in need that are lacking the most essential things in life, like food. There were people waiting in line for about two hours before we even opened the door, just to obtain a number. I could hear people talking in line, while I was packaging the canned goods, and perishables. When the other volunteers opened the door, and started calling out numbers, then we proceeded to hand them their bag of food, they had this forever grateful look in their eyes. It was like the gratitude in their eyes pierced, and warmed my heart at the same time. It was a bitter sweet moment, and to hear it over, and over, was overwhelming. And on the other hand, there are other people in America, that the stress of their day is trying to choose the latest model IPHONE, or automobi...

  • Personal Narrative: Why I Volunteer At The Chicago Marathon

    Volunteering to me has never been so much of a job that doesn’t pay. It is a way for me to give my time to help a cause, organization, or an event. I don’t volunteer because I need to get hours for school or for a club, I volunteer because I want to give back to my community. I feel a sense of belonging and importance when I volunteer, even if my job isn’t that significant. For the past two years, I have been volunteering at the Chicago Marathon. Even though I know that I play only a small part in such a large event, it gives me satisfaction knowing that I was part of helping the race run. Each year my family and I go to the marathon, whether that’s because one of us is running it or if we are simply there to watch, it has become a tradition
