Recommended: Personal experience of volunteering

My most significant and meaningful volunteer experience came when I was the assistant coach for Pinewood Preparatory School’s Junior Varsity baseball team. On the team I helped the student athletes learn how to become better baseball players and, in turn, helped them to become harder workers, which hopefully allowed them to do better in school. One instance in which this were most profound was when, after getting onto a player named “Dalton” for his laziness when it came to running the accustomed after practice sprints, I had got through to him that nothing was going to be easy when it came to baseball or school. This was, in fact, his first year playing baseball and for being a first timer, he was actually quite good at it, and through his

    The disappearance of Henry in the final chapter adds a certain ambiguity to Coover’s text. Readers must question why Henry is not present and the reasoning behind his disappearance from the final chapter; has he merged to become one person with the players he created, have his players and league progressed to a maturity in which they no longer need him, or has Henry crossed the line of insanity causing the league itself to turn into a chaotic mess.

    Before we told our daughters that they could be anyone, or anything they wanted to be, we told them that they could only be what was acceptable for women to be, and that they could only do things that were considered "ladylike." It was at this time, when the nation was frenzied with the business of war, that the women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League decided that they could do and be whatever it was that they chose. These women broke free of the limitations that their family and society had set for them, and publicly broke into what had been an exclusively male sport up until that time.

    Women don’t receive the spotlight in sports very often. Usually, the men in baseball, football, basketball, and soccer have higher salaries and are paid attention to more. This wasn’t the case with a special league of female baseball players. These ladies sparked a thought in peoples’ heads in the mid 20th-century. Could women really play a professional sport instead of staying home to do the housework? From 1943-1954, women in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League helped to change the rights women were believed to have in society and in the workplace as they began playing a professional sport as a form of entertainment. Men, who would usually fulfill this role, were drafted into the military with the responsibility to serve during the war. The AAGPBL quickly became a world-winning group of women athletes and kept baseball and peoples' hopes alive during a time of weakness in American history.

    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

  • My Community Service Taught Me About Leadership

    In the past four years of my life, volunteer work has left an indelible mark on my heart and mind. When I became a volunteer, I had a very vague notion of leadership. As my high school days come to an end, I am left with the feeling that I have finally come into my own shoes, discovering the things that are important to me and those that are not. I have found my personal leadership style, and I now pay attention to the leaders I come across each day. For this reason, volunteering has been both an enlightening and inspiring experience, for I am surrounded by peers, mentors, and the volunteer program director, all of whom are leaders with creative visions of their own.

  • What Volunteering Can Teach You

    950 Words  | 2 Pages

    Volunteering enables a person to develop new skills that he or she would otherwise not have been able to develop. Unlike most other organizations, a charitable organization is happy to give positions to passionate, though inexperienced, individuals who desire to help others and benefit the community. Therefore, an individual with little experience in a field of work can gain meaningful skills that he or she can use in the future. For example, while I volunteered at the hospital this summer, I learned about the daily work lives and professional duties of doctors and nurses. Had I not volunteered, I would not have learned about these things. I was always interested in the medical field, but volunteering at the hospital let me explore my interests and en...

    I became a volunteer at Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center where I was paired with a horse, rider, and two side-walkers. Patients varied in age and disabilities; my rider was a middle aged male with mobile and communication disorders, and as a leader my job was to be his companion and ensure his safety. I enjoyed seeing him grow and learn new maneuvers each day, meeting incredible people and building friendships that will never be forgotten. Due to a scheduling conflict, I wasn’t able to volunteer there the subsequent semester. However, I became a volunteer at the University Hospital where I became employed in May. In July I became a volunteer at Adult Day Connection where I continue to build communication skills and relationships that could change a life someday, and facilitate in the achievement of my immediate and long-term
