Speech On Daycare

I was eight when my grandfather first exposed me to the definition of humanity. He explained humanity as a human’s ability to empathize and feel compassion for one another. However, at that time, I struggled to grasp the importance of compassion for a stranger. Because I grew up in a household that values humanity, I involuntarily got involved into the community services. To be honest, I did not enjoy waking up at 5 a.m to aid the Elderlies in rural areas. Scrubbing their feet; massaging their shoulder; helping my grandmother in the kitchen was my weekly routine.
Serving the community, later I realized, provides more than just being involved in the community; these opportunity taught me how to interact with variety of people. In Daycare, I might brag about how many pokemon cards I have, but in Bradley home, I talk about how a cone of ice cream does not cost 25 cents anymore(They are always fascinated about “modern- day life”).In Midstate, I act according to the patient’s needs and the level of their pain. Because I

communicate with wide range of people, it is necessary for me to level up on their interest and background. This not only causes me to see other people’s perspective, but also these interaction built a confidence in me. I wanted to contribute to the third- world country I was born in, Nepal. In spring of 2015, Nepal's earthquake killed over 10,000 people . So I created a fundraiser with couple of my friends during the summer. In this fundraiser , we held tag sale and lemonade sale.Through this alone, we raised 450 dollars and donated it to the Help Nepal Network charity. 450 dollars might not seem a lot to replace 20,000 families’ home, but if you convert into Nepalese rupees, it is 450,100 Rupees! This money has the ability to provide food for more than half of these houses. Due to these services, I earned a volunteer appreciation award sponsored by Bradley Home. Other than the services, and sport, I also babysit a three year old and seven year old. Learning the value of money assists me in understanding more about humanity.
Although I am a treasurer in the HOSA chapter, I also ran for president for the Connecticut HOSA club.

It was only 20 people in club from Lyman Hall and Sheehan, but in Connecticut HOSA club, I read my speech to over 100 gaping faces. Although I lost, I gained more than what I had expected. Self-confidence! In the beginning of migrating into this country, my classmates humiliated me for my lack of ability to speak English when I tried to voice my opinion. But my bravery in the platform that day, wiped out all my insecurities. In 7th grade, I read a 4th grade level books, but now I read poems and plays along with my AP English classmates. Although I might not have the highest intellectual ability or the GPA, I, however always challenge myself to attain better score or give a better service that I had done before. Through my services and leadership experiences, I have built a character that my grandfather would be proud

of.
