My Engagement Research Paper

Personal Essay
An engagement that gives me leadership skills is community services. I am always involved in these activities on a volunteer basis. I spend most of my holiday time participating in programs that provide meal services to the homeless and less fortunate. The social status of the poor predisposes them to numerous challenges in their lives. My engagement in these activities is facilitated by various non-governmental organizations related to human and social services delivery. Some of the services include providing these individuals with shelter and food. Also, on campus, I participate in multiple service activities. I helped explain the campus to inner-city school kids and Community College Students whom visited the campus.

I also helped to raise money to fund foster children programs and wheelchairs for orphans.
My first long-term goal is to continue serving those that are less fortunate. I have a strong affinity to this population because I was taught at a young age that it is important to give back to the community through volunteering. There is nothing better than seeing someone smile and hearing a simple “thank you.” Hearing these kind words is enough of a reward, and is what motivates me to keep helping them with their situations.
The second long-term goal is to become a physician specializing in psychiatry. I can honestly state that I have wanted to be a doctor since I was eight years old. I want to study psychiatry because I have always been interest in the human mind and cognitive processes that the field seems to be a perfect fit for me. There, I could analyze and study the human, mind while helping others.
It is clear to see that from the previous paragraphs that I have a strong affinity to help others that are less fortunate. Through my commitment and obligation, I am always motived in being involved in volunteer activities. My engagement in these activities has enhanced my leadership skill and it gives me the confidence and the desire to uphold the integrity to humanity and the assurance to enhance a mature approach to reality. A leader is someone who would stop at nothing to help others in need. Just like me, through confidence and the desire to help others, leaders try to make life at least a little brighter and better for someone else.
