Volunteerism Personal Statement

Although I loved all of my at home volunteer work, I especially loved doing good in countries that needed more help. I sponsor a six year old girl in Bolivia named Reina through Compassion International, she is one of the most spectacular kids I have ever met. She lives in a barely livable cinder block house and yet she is beyond proud of every tiny detail of it. Reina lives with her 4 brothers, her mother, father, and her aunt in this two bedroom structure and yet they don’t complain one

I am a good candidate for the job as I am very responsible. I have volunteered at RAL since January of 2015. While it is fun it is also a large commitment. RAL expects me to show up on time and ready to work; which I always am. At RAL I help take care of the dogs. I give the dogs baths, help give the dogs medicine, and clean the kennels.

amazing it is. Some people may think volunteering is just a resume builder, but I really believe it provides an opportunity to really get to know a desired profession and learn to love it even more.

The first characteristic I possessed from my volunteering is becoming a team player. Being involved in so many committees, boards, and groups I have picked up the ability to work well, collaboratively with others. In my past, I have played many different roles. I have been on a serving team while feeding the homeless. I have been on the marketing committee for a Cape Verdean Community Day event. I have even put together a

Volunteering in both a children's hospice and a hospital has given me the chance to significantly develop my emotional resilience and proficiency in communication, due to the contact with a variety of people and experience with children who are life limited, which can be very important in the health sector.

Pursuing a degree in Anthropology provided me with the opportunity to learn analytical techniques that facilitated an appreciation for unfamiliar cultures and belief systems. College shaped who I am today, allowing me to learn and grow in a challenging and fostering environment. Participating in service learning and study abroad had a profound impact on my education. Collaborating with the Appalachian Community Together (ACT) Office I participated in two Alternative Service Experiences (ASE). These programs allowed me to volunteer during spring break within the United States and abroad. Upon completion of my first ASE, I developed a drive to make a difference. Subsequently, I spent the next spring break in Granada, Nicaragua working with the nonprofit La Esperanza Granada teaching English in a local school alongside my fellow peers. This program was an extraordinary experience that had a profound impact on my outlook of service leading me on a path of personal growth and my commitment to serving the community as an active and informed citizen. Gaining the tools to effect positive change is my

As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

Service learning has given me the new opportunity experience helping others and including myself. I enjoy volunteer work because It’s a way of giving back to the community, but also I’ve become confident in public speaking. In addition, volunteer work is a great rewarding experience, and it 's also helped me develop social skills, by supporting others. The contribute can make a positive impact in many ways, Barack Obama said, “ the best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the work with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” There are element that could promise will succeed in life, however, I believe to learn and discover. I will continue volunteering work whenever I can, and I strongly encourage people to join volunteer work because the meaningful impact the lives of their and help thousands of the students confront in reading. It was a great pleasure for me to contribute to the organization to the development of the community through Political Science class volunteering work. The impact that was able to make our community better future.

Volunteering through my local churches, school and college has allowed me to interact with many individuals with differing socioeconomic status, education, race, religion and culture. However, these differences never stopped us from working together or giving our time, love and hard work to something.

Surrendering my free time to serve others, is often times not something I crave to do. Selfish ambitions take over, and consequently, I participate in activities I find pleasing to me rather than others. However, when I take the time to assist others and take action in my community, I have found that it is a rewarding experience. Volunteering has never led me to anything negative, and it has allowed me to be a part of a positive and uplifting experience. My desire to volunteer may consume my time, but the countless rewards I receive from volunteering are priceless. Offering my time to organizations has allowed me to become more humble, see the happiness it brings to people, and improve my social skills.

In 2015, I volunteered with the organization Medicine, Education and Development for Low Income Families Everywhere (MEDLIFE) to Lima,Peru. Their mission is to

I’ve volunteered at a range of places of different causes. My time and experience with these charities opened my eyes to the range of issues that they were fighting and what people were victims of. But I also learned about different cultures and how some communities will respond differently

My interest in community service began in high school when I joined Key Club, a community service and leadership building organization focused on volunteer work. As time went on, I became the Junior Board Director, representing and guiding eleventh grade students during volunteer projects. We raised money for ZZ (UNICEF) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (ZZ), organized social carnivals for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and helped set up and run-walks for March of Dimes and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, to name a few. I enjoy volunteering because it gives me a chance to share my many skills while learning new skills and working with people of all

I have always enjoyed and had a passion for involvement. I believe that extra-curricular activities, volunteering or any type of involvement is an excellent learning opportunity. Throughout high school, I have been involved in sports team such as field hockey, rugby, badminton and swimming. In grades 10 and 12, I participated in junior and student council. These experiences taught me a lot about team work, time management and social skills. I was appointed captain for the girl’s field hockey team in my last year and this impacted my life. I learned a great deal about optimism as I absolutely loved cheering with my team regardless our losses. I also enjoyed participating in fundraising events such as Terry Fox runs, fast for hunger and many
