What does it mean to be different or unique? Being different in this day and age could mean many different things. Maybe you do not dress the same as others, or maybe you do not sit on your electronics as much as others. For me, standing out is being unapologetically who I am, and participating in things that I enjoy, which make me unique. I would say I have had many opportunities that separate me from the rest, and I am very thankful for them. I have always had a love for traveling and embracing different cultures, which I believe being from a small town helped me to embrace. I have always been very accepting and intrigued by people who were not like me. Traveling to Europe helped me to embrace this love for other people. There I met many different people who grew up so …show more content…

With my accepting nature has come an extreme passion for activism, especially in the LGBT community, and I also got to embrace that by going to an LGBT in the South conference. It was an amazing way to learn how to be an activist for LGBT rights in my own community, and also connect with other people in the community and hear their stories. Going to this conference has helped to encapture my hardworking nature. I have always believed in working for things until I achieve them, and doing whatever it takes to achieve my dreams. I work hard at my education so I can receive the grades I wish, and I have worked hard towards my dream career in zoology. I have volunteered with animals for three years now, and this has helped me to gain experience for my future career. In volunteering at a science center, I have worked with many different people, and met so many people. It is very fun for me to entertain visitors with my knowledge of animals, and I love to spread that knowledge to as many people as possible, as well as learn things from the visitors. I view every day that I am at the science center as a learning experience, and a

Tom Leppard, is a man who is tattooed in leopard print from head to toe, he enjoys his life and doesn’t care about what outsiders think of his choice. The author continues to talk about how society pressures others to change to fit in and how it can damage their psyche.

    The majority of society has a goal to prosper in and fulfill their dreams— which will occur on several different paths. These paths include going into the medical field, engineering, or joining the labor force. Not only do I strive to prosper in and fulfill my dreams in the long term, but, in the short span of the next four to five years I plan to achieve my BSW and MSW from Michigan State University. Once I have received both degrees, I hope to put my hopes and dreams into action. I plan to serve those who are oppressed within society, from people of color and the LGBTQ community to women and children. More specifically, I desire to perform clinical social work at a domestic violence resource facility. Along the way, I dream to pick up bits and pieces of myself, which will allow me to learn who I am and my own self worth. Without knowing our own identities, how are we ever to pursue our hopes and dreams? We couldn’t, for our hopes and dreams are our identities too.

    I ran into Jon, of PA, who I met at college who was working at EPCOT. (I had no clue!) I also ran into other people I knew from WV , or other people I knew from Disney. One day I sat down next to this guy and I whispered to my roommate Matt “this guy is from my hometown.” He said “yea right!” In a few seconds he looks over at me and says “You look familiar.” I said “I'm from WV.” He said “No way! Me too!” I turned back to Matt and gave him that “told ya” look. I met a family from WV almost every week. It really is a "small world!" Being from WV, there is a lack of diversity. I got to learn so much about other cultures and other people. I learned a lot just from talking to people. I also took a class but I learned more from meeting people and having conversations with them. My high school Spanish teacher told me I had a terrible Spanish accent but one day I had a fluent conversation with a lady in Spanish. I was proud that I overcame barriers of my southern twang to do

    Thousands of homeless animals are looking for forever homes in America. Volunteering is a great way to give to your community and socialize the animals at the shelters. Working with dogs and cats that have not had good starts in their lives helps them trust again. It helps animals get over the trauma they have had before they went to the shelter. Socializing makes the animal more adoptable and they are given a chance to get forever homes. Volunteer at your local humane society 's and help out the animals like I have worked with in shelters.

  • Reflection On Volunteering

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    Instead of learning about volunteering from an indoor setting, I was able to first-hand experience volunteerism. I truly enjoyed being able to help my community while also earning credits by doing so. It was a win-win! If I had the opportunity, I would definitely take a class similar to this one. I will be transferring to the University of Kentucky and I am hoping that they will have some clubs/organizations that specialize in volunteering so that I can continue to help with the community. You will encounter some rough patches while volunteering, but that should never discourage you from continuing on. I know that at first while volunteering at MCHS, it was pretty strenuous. I hadn’t worked with any other animals other than my own and I had never volunteered at an animal shelter before, but everything ended up working out. I learned so much more about working with animals, gained people skills while working with other volunteers/adopters, and became more aware of my community’s needs. I will continue to volunteer and encourage others to do the

When I was young, I personally had the opportunity to participate in one of the Girl Scout camp-ins they hosted. I remember how the volunteers worked hard cooking our breakfast and helping with the activities. It was very rewarding to be on the giving end instead of the receiving end. The Science Nights, which are free to the public, are a good outreach to the young students in the community. These nights are a way of making education fun and exciting for the children.
