How can Outreach360 make the world a better place?
Last year in 2015 in the summer, a Catholic youth group from Our Lady of Fatima, had an idea to perform a lawn care service for people who are living with disabilities. During the project, they could not fund the project for long, but got in two months of work and completed thirty yards with a total amount of one-hundred service hours. The catholic church of Our Lady of Fatima’s youth group was certain to go with the same project while trying to beat the goal from last year in 2015. The people were pleased with the work and effort from the group, as well for how thoughtful the project was and turned out to be a success. The people who lived with disabilities were delighted and pleased with the work of the catholic church of Our Lady of Fatima. This is what volunteering can do, it can make a big difference. A small catholic church group came up with an idea that made many people happy. Furthermore, to volunteer, it means to take part in an enterprise or undertaking. Again, at the time the work has paid off, people in preference to that one person will appreciate the hard work, in which they are forever thankful. Such as developing countries who cannot excel on their own, they struggle uttermost to meet development goals such as, giving public education, having affordable health care, clean water, etc. Secondly, volunteering can change people and can impact the world by making a huge difference. But to make a huge difference, it takes plenty of dedication and hard work. To make that big difference is to find certain people who are kind, caring, thoughtful, and are just willing to help. In addition, to the people who care to make a change can teach children and teens can get an education. Provide first-aid or medical attention for people who are sick or injured.

Additionally, every person who struggle deserves a chance to have the privilege to learn and gain knowledge, able to have a goal as well to have a dream. The people who endeavor should be able to have this opportunity to go to school and work for an education. On the other hand, they cannot start on their own and need help. Volunteering is mainly being there for people who are in need of support. An organization known as Outreach360 undertakes these situations and they have been doing a great job.

In the summer of 2015, my disinterest was turned into a passion when I met the children from Broadlawn.

Our church decided that every Tuesday throughout the summer we would go out to Broadlawn to eat, talk, and play with the kids from the neighborhood. After some nagging from friends and family, I decided to tag along one Tuesday to help.…

    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…

    “The magic happens when you step outside your comfort zone.” This proverb sums up everything I went through when I recently attended the Air Force Academy’s Summer Seminar in July. While there, I was pushed well beyond my limits. We, the attendees, did strenuous physical training sessions at roughly a mile above sea level, woke up before the sun rose, attended sample classes, and studied tons of military knowledge while learning about the Air Force Academy and the admission process. It was truly a challenge being there, and I loved every minute of it!…
