One person cannot tackle the vast amount of issues of today and change the world. With so many injustices that occur in today’s society we can’t help but feel overwhelmed as to what people, as citizens of the world, can do to make the world an exceptional environment. Many believe the task is either too large and intimidating to face head on, or they don’t want to face the possibility of failure and criticism. We have the idea of taking on enormous tasks and expect change almost immediately, however, it’s not the anticipated outcome. Real change starts when one contributes to their community; the smallest of impacts generate the biggest changes in the long run. My service learning experience (SLE) at the Austin Animal Center (AAC) opened my
eyes to the work and dedication ensuring animals at the shelter feel at ease while they wait for potential owners and become a member of their household. Although it was an orientation session for potential volunteers, I still felt the opportunity to become a member of the clean team for the AAC would be beneficial to not only animals, but also the Austin community. While participating, various themes discussed in Dr, Moore’s class were embodied into my community involvement. It takes leadership to focus on the impact of one’s actions and having a goal that is about others rather than oneself. Those who wish to solve problems are driven with a deep desire and recognize opportunities where others see problems. These two themes correspond to my experience at the animal shelter since they relate to creating solutions for others to benefit. Everybody has the capability of being a leader, however, leadership is the practice of humility, persistence, and communication.
“Making a Difference” by June Callwood is an expository essay created to inspire the reader to make a change in the world around them, and to stand up for what they believe in. By just doing simple, positive things, people can make a huge impact on their lives and the lives of people around them. June Callwood, author of “Making a Difference”, changes the way many people see the world by describing scientific research and telling the stories of people who performed small, random acts of kindness that made a huge difference in people’s attitudes and the community around them.
Making a positive difference in this world leaves a lifelong mark on the world. Everyone makes a difference with their actions and behaviors no matter how big or small. We all want to feel significant like we contributed or made an impact for the next generation. We may not be able to hold their hands but we can prepare them for the road ahead.
The most stressful and challenging situation was during my volunteering in the Rehab unit at the hospital. I was assigned to help a student therapist in assisting a patient in walking. The Patient was overweight and it usually takes more than two people when assisting the patient in walking but the therapist and the patient felt confidant enough that she would be able to walk without much help. When the therapist and I began to assist her in standing the patients knees buckled under her and she fell and began screaming in pain. The combined strength of the therapist and I were not enough to help get up and the only thing we were able to do was straighten out her legs and comfort her until more help came. I felt really bad what happen but
We should first believe in our hearts that we are making a difference because if we don’t, there will always be something that will disappoint us enough to make us feel like we aren’t doing enough. We should give credit when credit is due and acknowledge when progress is made while maintaining a positive and proactive attitude to situations.
We must all get together to make an effective transformation on the planet we live

When you work for peace or any other aspect of social change, there are often hardships to overcome. You must believe deeply that what you are doing is right, or else you may become discouraged and give up. I have found that there are no easy solutions to problems involving social change. When you commit yourself to creating a better world, you are most likely committing yourself to a lifetime of effort.
...informing on making sure that a lot of people who want to help will get involved with my program. A lot of the time it doesn’t take a whole community to make a difference. One person who has a mind to work can help make a difference then someone who doesn’t want to work at all. Most of the time anyway if someone see you trying to make a difference they will follow you. The government can make a difference to by promoting the program even though they are busy it doesn’t take a whole hour to make a difference it can take one minute to change the world forever. We can changed the world by recycling, and by doing other things. I would say the main reason on how to make a world a big difference is by working together. You don’t need a lot of people to make a differences it can only be a group of 5 people and they can make a more difference than 100 people can.
“Small acts when multiplied by millions can transform the world” (Common Dreams). This quote by Howard Zinn can be interpreted by implying that as long as everyone tries within their reach to help every situation that they can, then the world shall be a better place. This means that small measures may not seem to be making a huge difference but when those actions are multiplied by or totaled to the actions being performed by all; then a huge and significant impac...

While it is easy to doze off during a lecture, or ignore a warning, humans are enthralled by stories. The story of the starfish is not only interesting and inspirational, it’s message is incredibly effective. There is always more you can do to help, and the advice applies to a wide variety of situations. From volunteering your time, donating money, or even just being supportive of someone going through a hard time, people have the power to make a difference. The “starfish” might not thank you, they might not even know that it was you who helped, but you still made a positive impact on the world. While appreciation and the feeling of creating a huge change are wonderful, it is your first small step that matters the
Somewhere in a puddle of unnecessary tears or in front a trail blazed of over reactive fire is a Highly Sensitive Person. In a world inhabited by over 300 million people, how can someone who’d rather be alone possibly impact the world in a positive way? As the world becomes more quantity than quality on almost every platform, the people who think more deeply are slowly transitioning from society’s commodity, to society’s pain in the back. Highly Sensitive People have now taken a huge chunk of the population. The impacts are both positive and negative, but most quietly kept, positive.
This leads them to feeling and acting ardently about improving the world for victims of a particular global issue. “Then, when he was twelve years old, he was murdered. I had never heard of child labor and wasn’t certain where Pakistan was - but that day changed by life forever. I gathered a group of friends to form an organization called Free the Children” (Kielburger, 13-18). This proves that people are influenced by the stories of victims of intensely impacting world problems, and because of this, they establish the decision to do everything in their ability to change the world for the better.
According, to Hodder (2016), people will always doubt you from making a change in what is our world, but making small changes in your own little world can make a difference.Let's think about it, if everyone in this world would change one thing of their everyday life our world would be a better world. Most people don't realize that every single person is guilty of the damage we have created.
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
