Recommended: An essay on Community service in school

What community service project(s) have you done to this point? List and give a number of hours. I have taken as many opportunities as I can to volunteer my time to the community. I personally have a great passion for helping others. The services I have done so far include: Fright Night at Sacred Hearts Academy (4 hours), Citizen Patrol of Honolulu (86 hours), student ambassador at Sacred Hearts Academy (25 hours), Sacred Hearts Spring Show Case (4 hours), FAST for A Better Tomorrow (5 hours), Rotary Club of Hawaii Kai (30 hours), Sacred Hearts Science Symposium (5 hours), Sacred Hearts Auditorium cleaner (6 hours), Sacred Hearts Academy Office (36 hours), and services for the Soroptimist Club (32 hours). I have a total of 233 hours as of February …show more content…

Most importantly, this course has taught me the importance of shaping a good society, to choose to serve rather than to consume. From services for the charity, I learn that sharing God’s love with the world through volunteer contributes to the good of society. Sharing God’s love by providing important goods and services with a joyful and caring attitude has help me to understand the importance of serving the community rather than to be caught up in greed. My volunteer has also given be greater insight in choosing to live as a disciple of Jesus. The theology course defines disciple as someone who chooses to follow Christ for the purpose of becoming like him in every part of life. From my service for the Young Athletes Program, I learn to serve the community as Jesus did. To a accept others even if they may not match the ideal societal definition of normal. Moreover, as a disciple of Jesus, I learn to view kids with down syndrome as gifted children’s with great abilities; they’re no different from any other child. Living as a disciple of Jesus means I am not to judge others and I was able to gain greater insight in the concept of judgment and discipleship through my service. Lastly, I also was given a greater insight in the theology concept of the Role of Women in the early church. From my services, I learn to live and the women of the early church because they were dedicated in Christianity’s acts of worshipping. The women gave up their wants in return to serving their community. The women have influenced me into doing the same, in which I am voluntarily accepting opportunities to help others. I hope to be influential in the purest and kindest was, just like the women of the early church for the future generations to

    At Community Boards, the skills and disciplines that I learned was that I was able to handle clients through phone calls more effectively and in a manner in which I can be neutral. I also learned to be very patient with some clients over the phone, where some phone calls had spent over an hour of the client’s time talking to me about their issues at their residence. I was able to cultivate the skill of being able to use different communication styles in order to deal with certain people and their styles, for often I would have to deal with people that very emotional, because of their situation, whether they be angry, sad, or hopeless, I had to alter my style of communication to accommodate their needs and try to calm them down. Although I

    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.

  • Reflection In Health And Social Care

    Reflection is extremely important as it allows for strengths and weaknesses to be recognised, make sense of the situation, and improve care (Jasper, Rosser, and Mooney, 2013). This experience helped me to understand how my own values, communication and interpersonal skills played a part in Mrs Mill’s care, and ways it could have been enhanced. Communication between staff members is vital, something I have learnt from this, ensuring that I seek out support and speak up if I feel a situation isn’t being dealt with appropriately. As I gained more knowledge about Mrs Mills and her condition I believe my ability to communicate with her improved, enhancing the standard of care I provided. Non-verbal communication was important when interacting with Mrs Mills and therefore became a priority of mine, engaging in assisting her at meal times etc.

    In order to fulfill the 12 hours of community service requirement for Nutrition course 139 I applied with five organizations on the approved list. The organization that replied me the fastest was Open Heart Kitchen, they mostly operate in Pleasanton and Livermore areas. Their application and signing up for shift process gives a feeling that this organization is massive, and many individuals really care about the less fortunate. From observation and conversations with the site supervisor, I believe this organization relies on individual donations, small business donations and large corporate donations such as Safeway and Walmart. This organization also relies on volunteers to work every day, they get workers from students fulfilling their hours and resume, individuals fulfilling court orders, and those that just want to help the less fortunate.

    Jesus, concerned with the future of his ministry beyond himself, empowers his students to continue his tradition of educating people into holiness. This commission is not a mere suggestion for the disciples to follow, but they are not new students either. They have been learning from Jesus for three years; such is an important observation when considering how to appropriate this message in our modern context. Nevertheless, such an important communication on the part of Jesus needs to be highly broken down and understood.

    For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

    I used to hate community service. I only did it if it was a requirement for graduation or for a program. Even when I did community service, I still waited until the very last opportunity to do it. When I heard the words community service, all I could picture is cleaning Philadelphia parks or streets that were filled with trash in either the cold or heat. My mind always went to that space because that 's what my first few encounters with community service consisted of. My high school always had us cleaning something; one time we re-landscaped the parking lot of a homeless shelter. Another time, we cleaned up the weeds out of the loading docks of the non-profit food bank Philabundance. One time my mom made me volunteer
