Rainbow Friends Research Paper

Improved Essays
During my three years of high school, I have been a member of a club called Rainbow Friends. It’s a club that provides support to a local no-kill animal sanctuary and promotes animals rights. When I attended the first meeting they had, the introduction describing Rainbow Friends did not appeal to me. Helping animals? That's it? However, as I became a more active member and volunteered at events in the community, I have learned the true meaning of Rainbow Friends: spreading the vision to embrace a time where we see that all animals have a home with caring and responsible people and a time where there is a compassionate and loving relationship between humans and nonhumans. It has helped me to be a better person and showed me inner characteristics …show more content…
The experiences that I have shared with my community have opened my eyes to others, myself, and one of my aspirations. I want to help out whichever way I can to make a difference in animal's lives. With the right team and budget, I would start with something simple, like an animal adoption event. My first step to create better lives for animals is take care of the ones that are in desperate need for a better home. One of my main priorities as club president is to not only spread the wellbeing of animals, but to also spread the idea of an animals rights club. The Rainbow Friends club is the only one of its kind within the schools of my district. Promoting the idea an animal rights club to other schools through mediums such as social media, would incorporate a greater deal of my peers toward this issue. But even without social media, I’ve realized that I can make a difference in the lives of animals with just a full heart and an empty hand. Continuing to be a part of the Rainbow Friends is an accomplishment that has given me many opportunities, and has shown me ways that I can go out into the world to help the millions of animals affected in

    The ASPCA: A Guilt Trip Most organizations and companies successfully advertise their ideas in commercials by appealing to the audience most likely to indulge in them. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) crafts its commercial to target animal lovers. In order to convince this target audience to donate to the ASPCA’s cause, their commercial unfairly plays with viewers’ emotions by using heroic word choice, displays depictions of animals, and utilizes a celebrity endorsement; however, its use of uncertified facts undermines the organization’s credibility.…

    Seated on the plane to Beijing, I was thinking all the way on what I did through the past year. My mind went back to the time when my friends and I worked together for Chinese orphans by creating a club. With 100 dollars from donation, I asked several classmates to help me set up a club called ‘Bring Me Hope Club’ to cooperate with a global NGO: Bring Me Hope, to raise money for Chinese orphans and build long-term personal one-to-one relationships with them.…

    Many experiences in my life have changed my views in multiple ways, but by far the most life changing experience has to be when I was elected Daingerfield District Vice-President for the FFA. This experience has broadened my comfort zone of shyness and unconfidence, and as the FFA Opening Ceremonies say, it brought me “into the glorious sunlight of brotherhood and cooperation.” I finally began to realize after Greenhand Camp, my freshman year, that I might have a potential future in the FFA. With the support of my chapter, friends, family and much devoted prayer, I was able to accomplish my fears and officially announce that I was running for District Officer.…
