Topic that made the greatest impression
The topic that made the greatest impression was how birth order can affect a family. The information research opened my eyes to how personalities are formed and how birth order can affect the outcome of a person’s future. Learning about how age gaps affect each sibling was also interesting. I also had the opportunity to analyze my siblings and I personalize and relationship. The information found on the birth order topic was accurate and very interesting to read about. This topic also made me think about my future children and whether I would like to have them back to back or have an age gap and if so, how large of an age gap.
Assignment that made the least impression The assignment that made the least impression was the one about extended family relationships. The reason for it making the least impression is because I didn’t obtain a well enough understanding of the different kinds of family groups there was. I believe some of the of the examples weren’t quite accurate. Part of the example may be accurate but the other part wouldn’t be. Other than that, all the assignments made a long lasting impression on me because they discussed problems that may be encounter in my future classroom.

I don’t do volunteer work to receive praise or to put on my application. I do volunteer work because I find pleasure in assisting others. I have no suggestions for modifying the assignment. However, I would like say that witnessing, how much food was being provided to the individuals, was emotional because it shows how much people really care about helping one another.

    Until I helped clean up areas affected by Hurricane Harvey, I had never seen miles of power lines snapped in half and mountains of rubble that were once gasoline stations. In Victoria and Gregory, Texas, my church’s “Mormon Helping Hands” program volunteered to assist any families that could not help themselves. We tore down entire walls and cleared fallen trees so that homeowners could save money on reconstruction cost to rise from rock bottom. Grown men cried because they were grateful for our help and for their greatly reduced financial burden. Initially, I was annoyed that my parents made me do physical labor.…

    My first example that I found most endearing to me is my research topic this semester on “Babies behind bars with their incarcerated mothers”. It presented much analysis on the truth, accuracy, along with the presentation of evidence. I chose that specific topic because I felt as though the problem deserves more light to it because it's not much of a known topic, but I thought it was important to let my fellow classmates know about how important this topic is and why it should be made more known around the world. The babies’ social, biological, and logical development is at stake if they aren’t kept with birth mothers depending on the mother's charges. I learned from my…

    For my sixty hours of volunteer work I decided to volunteer at a Child Life Center which was in a poverty stricken area in Norfolk, Va. At the child life center my job as a volunteer was to assist the children with their homework, help the staff monitor the children on local field trips, as well as serve as a positive role model for the children. The experience I had at Park Place Child Life Center was one I will honestly never forget. Although I didn’t get any actual counseling experience, I was able to learn the ways that the non-profit organization received their funding, I was able to gain experience in working with the youth, and I was also able to make a positive impact on the lives of children who were considered “at-risk youth”. To go there every day and be able to see the change the children had in their behaviors and how much just some attention and affection from adults impacted their behaviors was honestly amazing.…

    Volunteering at Veterans Affairs Medical Center was one of the greatest experience I've ever had. Sitting down with the elderly and getting to know them, I noticed if more teens could actually sit down and take the time to talk to an elderly person they could gain an opulent amount of knowledge. Sitting down and getting to talk an innumerable amount of veterans as I could, I was intrigued by how each person had a story of their own going through WWII. Voluntarily, I was able to contribute to the organization by having open conversations with the veterans, providing beverages, and having a great time. It wasn't till the end of the program when my perception began to change about the organization I volunteered for, it's more than just about kids…

    I. Introduction I chose to research the reason behind concentration camps and what Jews experienced while being put into the camps. Concentration camps have always been a learning topic during the time of the Holocaust. I find it intriguing to learn about the hard labor they were forced to go through and how they had to leave everything behind. The popular belief was that the Jews in these camps were guilty of crime which turned out to be false. Many were innocent and brought into these camps without any say.…
