The three activities I wish to continue while attending medical school include teaching, volunteering, and exercising.

An important activity for me is to continue working as an instructor for the American Heart Association.

    The Importance Of Progressive's Soup Kitchen

    The socioeconomic combination is great; no one is considered an outsider. There are all races, and religious groups eating, joking in an environment of heartfelt care and love. It is evident that the volunteer staff value connecting and building lasting relationships for Christ.

    How To Write A Self Reflection In Social Work

    Early upon entering the College of Social Work I became interested in the homeless population. In my junior year, I took the time to volunteer with the Renaissance Community Center, an organization that provides various services to Homeless individuals in Tallahassee. Volunteering here taught me about people and the effects of interpersonal communication, how the availability of services can aid people during personal crisis, and the limitations of resources and access on a vulnerable population such as the homeless. This experience is valuable to me as it increased my interest in the population and my awareness of how it intersects with values and the purpose of social work.…

    Personal Narrative: My Involvement In Church

    At this homeless mission there will be different services such as: healthy clinic, counseling, seamstress (or clothing options), and schooling (for children and adults to receive diploma equivalent). This would give back to my community by giving the homeless an outlet of resources to put them back on their feet. To give back to the church, my goal is to one day become a youth leader. I want to help educate youth about God and his love, grace, and forgiveness for us all.
