Neatly and efficiently, I finish writing notes as the class ends.Trying not to have frantic, scribbled writing is key in this situation, as these notes are not for me. “Where in this bag do you want these Jake?” I ask. “Just grab my binder and place them in the front pouch” He replies. Jake is a student that I scribe for. He is in a wheelchair and needs assistance in class, but that does not describe him to be any different from his colleagues.
While walking to his next class, I observe a variety of individuals. Students who are interested in athletics, others that are absorbed in the arts, as well as some who are amply studious. Among these, I recognize reflections of myself and my personal interests. Regardless, it does not matter what our physical or mental states are, we continue to learn and grow with the decisions we choose.

After receiving a call back for an interview, I decided to seize the chance for a new experience during my senior year. Now, I join Jake and other students in an assortment of different classes as an assistant. Additionally, this is an opportunity for me to absorb the information the teacher provides and learn a new topic without an expense. Sitting in class to assist an individual has pushed me to increase my communication skills, and not be shy conversing with new people. Overall, I have become abundantly involved with my school, and I enjoy it.
My community is working with an array of students while attending school. Each with different backgrounds that I learn from on a daily basis and hope to continue to do when I attend a

The characters are asked to step into other’s shoes and look at the world from another’s perspective, thus becoming more thoughtful and considerate. In the fast moving world of today, this value has gradually been left behind. The mindset of personal success and one person’s need above others’ has caused the act of being thoughtful and considerate a thing of the past.…

    An experience that displayed my ability to mentor was during my time helping out at Columbus Elementary School. There was one boy named Presley and he had trouble focusing, so I often ended up at his table trying to draw his attention away from his peers and towards his work. He was struggling with math, subtraction specifically and heavily relied on finger counting to do any problem. After about two weeks doing number lines and tally marks, he greatly improved and no longer needed any help for simpler subtraction.…

    In the Human Services field I am very passionate about working with people in the deaf culture. I am passionate about working with this population because I know American Sign Language and I feel a connection to the community. Learning ASL took a long time and allowed me to be engaged in many events in the deaf community. I believe people in this population are not given nearly as much attention or opportunities as they should be. The lack of equal access to education, jobs, and basic interactions that hearing people take for granted is not fair and puts this population at a disadvantage therefore making it important for people to want to work with this group of people.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…
