Volunteering Personal Statement

Homer’s The Odyssey, along with being composed of a similar conversational textual style, has many other similarities to Vonnegut’s The Cat’s Cradle as well. Specifically, The Odyssey is an epic poem that paints the story of Odysseus, the Greek hero, during his eventfully long trip to Ithaca after the city of Troy’s fall. It is a story about survival and ingenuity where Odysseus’ path is not linear, but rather full of twists, turns, and potholes of adventure, along with a variety of flashbacks and storytelling throughout the poem.

I would love to become a staff member again on Viper as you can see from my extensive amount of applications. I feel like becoming a staff member will double the love I have for Viper. Also, of course, I have a great passion to help out on the server and help to clear out the server of cheaters and rule breakers as I believe these types of people ruin the experience for others by, as I say later in my application, using the skills I have learnt from previous experience and. Furthermore, I recently decided to stop cheating, something I had done for a very long time, without staffing or cheating I have no motivation to play and have been playing mini games for the last month. Also from this experience, I have gained a broad knowledge of the act of cheating and hiding

I desire to be a Junior Volunteer at Pardee hospital to assist people, and attempt to learn more about what it is like to work at a hospital. I believe people working in the medical field the field need to be able to look towards the future. In the future I plan to major in biology, and hope to work in radiology when I get older. Volunteering at the hospital could potentially help me get into college.While I am currently a freshman at East Henderson High School I am trying to take classes, join clubs, and plan for getting into college later. I feel like I would be a good candidate for the volunteer program because I am responsible, and think about how my actions affect myself and others before I do them. I have strong listening skills, and

One extracurricular activity I participate in is volunteering at my local hospital. I volunteer at Riverside Methodist Hospital and I have been volunteering there for a few months now. Some duties that I perform there include visiting patients and making sure they have everything they need. I also discharge patients when its time for them to leave. Additionally, I help greet patients and their families when they first enter the hospital. Volunteering at Riverside has prepared me for the challenges of working in a hospital environment. While volunteering I have been faced with challenges such as making sure I am respectful of families and their privacy. Travelling from each patient room I have to be able to judge whether or not it is the right

I am a sophomore undergraduate Biology major at Faulkner University. I am an active member of Chi Omicron Chi, a social club here on campus. I enjoy volunteering all the time because I love to see others happy. One day my aspirations

Before I even started my undergraduate career, I had done more than 200 hours of volunteer work in hospitals and ran a Blood Drive that garnered me the White House Silver Eagle Award along with a team of students. In college, I went on to do many more volunteer hours through F.O.R.G.E. a refugee tutoring program that attempts to bridge that gap between the success of Syrian, Palestinian, Somali, and Nepali refugee children and their westernized peers in Pittsburgh’s schools. I applied my passion for sharing new ideas to other areas of my life as a Biology Undergraduate Teacher’s Aide of two years and as a

Booker T. Washington, an American educator, said, “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” The “happiness” to which Washington refers, is shown to the Hispanic community through the nonprofit organization, El Centro Hispano. This organization cherishes volunteers who show an aptitude for learning and contributes to the community. Within five years of volunteering, I have developed into a mature young lady with a desirable passion for helping out the Hispanic community. I had the pleasure to volunteer at El Centro Hispano, which offers educational programs or financial assistance to those in need.

As I began my undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, I continue to carry that overwhelming feeling with me to spend my life helping others. It seems to fit the mold I was carving out for myself. All the signs indicated that I would become a doctor that heals people, save lives and help others. So naturally, I selected Biology, as my academics of choice. Yet, as I matriculated through the program other altruistic professions aroused.

Yellow sheets, a menacing term that I once thought would never become a reality, were first presented to me in 2016 in AP Calculus AB and have remained a constant presence throughout my AP Calculus BC and Multivariable Calculus courses. These have a reputation for being the most challenging questions you will ever face in the math classroom during your four years of high school. The yellow sheets were the first form of assessment that I had to complete that focused on my understanding of a concept and not just the memorization of formulas. This was a menacing task for me because I had never seen anything quite like these questions. These problems not only tested my academic ability but my academic perseverance. These multi-step problems encouraged

Throughout a human's childhood they watch cartoons or even read comics that include a protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist is always portrayed as the hero of the story and the antagonist is the portrayed as the villain. The villain is always known to be evil and at times not liked by the character in the comics or cartoons because of their evil schemes. The comics or cartoons seem to always focus on capturing the villain when he or she expresses their vicious acts. To the audiences, the definition of villain is “a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel” (“Villain”).

Volunteering at the community centre for over a year as an assistant caretaker has been a life-changing experience for me, not only did I get to learn about myself, but I also got to learn about the people in my community. While working with a variety of people in the community centre, I realized that helping people is what I was destined to do in life. Through my determination and my persistence, I received a volunteer service award from the City of Burnaby. This only fueled me to work harder to achieve my goals and dreams of going into the field of science in university. I have been lucky enough to receive offers of admission from all of the schools I have applied to.

I began volunteering in underserved communities when I was twelve years old. The experiences I amassed working with children’s programs, food banks, and community-development organizations between sixth grade and graduation cultivated my desire to work with at-risk communities long term. I desired to provide holistic care to patients in these areas. As a result, I determined to augment my science education at the University of Oklahoma with medical humanities and Spanish studies, volunteering, and service

To volunteer with the University of California, Los Angeles Health Department would be an ideal setting given that this experience would allow for personal growth and advancement. Expanding my horizon wherever possible is the objective and that is apparent in continuing knowledge through college. However, there is not an importance on the location seeing that acquiring and developing practice as well as exposure has more importance. Regardless, if I am presented with an opportunity to explore my career path in a respected facility I will not pass up the occasion. The possibilities are endless in this world and I want to contribute to the goodness this world has to offer seeing that I am capable and I have the right tools to excel at any task assigned. Contributing back to the community through

Caring is not enough, though it is an essential component of medicine. Over the years I have served and cared for my community by volunteering at numerous organizations, including the Ronald McDonald House, Big Brothers Big Sister, Macon Volunteer Clinic, and AIDS Athens. Each experience taught me a different lesson. While at the Macon Volunteer Clinic, I discovered that a listening ear and a silent tongue can be therapeutic. Big Brothers Big Sisters taught me that it’s the small gestures, like a conversation over a cone of ice cream or a game of basketball, which build trust.

When entering a profession, it is always important for the person to garner knowledge of the tasks that will be expected of them when they are in the field. For most people this means studying textbooks to gain an in-depth perspective of what practicing professionals believe is necessary information to help one succeed in their intended field. While this is a useful practice that should not be ignored, reading textbooks or training manuals does not give a person first hand experience with what to expect when they are out in the community to perform the job. An invaluable experience is when a person actually gets to witness the intrinsic parts of the occupation that a textbook might not cover. Recently, I had the opportunity to go out and observe an actual story-time for children at a local library.
