    Watershed Journal #2: Re-Inhabiting Taddle Creek For this week's reading journal, I read Re-Inhabiting Taddle Creek by Eduardo Sousa. This is an amazing piece of literature that describes the history of the Taddle Creek, the benefits of sustainable water usage, and the essential act of becoming and staying in tune with our specific watersheds. Ms. Sousa is highly passionate about all three of these topics and uses a high degree of persuasive language and vivid imagery to attract the reader towards her point of view. The author feels compelled to address these topics as they are important to sustainable water usage (which is the moral responsibility of every citizen on earth).…

    I have donated time in my city, state, country and internationally. Through the many opportunities that I have had for community service, I have been able to broaden my views, and look outside my community at how others experience our world. I have visited very diverse communities ranging from the inner city of Detroit, MI to a small, economically depressed village in Honduras, to the mountains of Pennsylvania and inside homes very different from mine in my own…

    My Responsibility to America George Bernard Shaw once said, “We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility of our future,” I believe he meant that it is not enough to know where we came from or how we got here; we must actively expand to maintain and improve our quality of life. As Americans, I believe, we need to participate in all aspects of life, respect ideals and people, and obey all established laws. As Americans, one of our responsibilities to America is participation. Participation may include lots of things such as your community, politics, and even your school. Participating in your community might be as little as helping someone across the street, or as big as setting up a local event.…

    I have always been a community engaged scholar, maybe not in the actual program, but in the spirt of the program. I have always loved being in the community and learning and helping with what needs to be done. Being part of this program, I believe will help me to be able to find avenues for this passion and give me the resources and ability to do these things in my chosen field. I have had multiple opportunities to be an engaged member of the community, including volunteering and fundraising for a local homeless shelter, food bank, elementary, middle, and high schools, local city councils, and local youth ranches. I have loved all of these opportunities!…

    I feel that it is important to give back to your community because you get to see all the different families and their perspective on life. Also, you get to know your community better and start relationships that could last life time. When giving back to the community you realize many things.

    If I am going to be honest I have not done a lot of service/volunteering throughout my high school experience. I am a full time competitive swimmer and I swim about 16 hours a week and it is very hard for me to make time to volunteer in my community. As my high school years are coming to an end I want to make it a goal to volunteer more and make time even when I think I do not have any time. I feel guilty because I am so fortunate to live the life I have and I need to give back to those who have nothing and are suffering. I know I am very busy with academics and my sport, but it is time for me to take a step back and realize there are lots of little things I could do to help community or someone in need.…

    Service-Learning Essay There are many small ways one can serve their community. Even if all a person does is volunteer at an event, one could still be inspired to begin an organization or simply raise awareness of an issue that they believe needs to be resolved. Recently while volunteering at an event I regularly volunteer at, I took notice of an issue concerning the deaf community that had recently been made aware to me prior to that night. My two-hour volunteer service – one that does not seem to highly impact the community - had brought to light an issue that I may be able to help resolve, and could one day greatly impact our community.…

    A community is a particular group of people living in the same place that have a certain characteristic in common.

With that being said it is important to ensure that each community is taken care of, which is why it is so important to give back. Giving back to the community no matter how big or small or in what way will improve lives, build or restore relationships and provide personal growth.…

    What have you done to make your school or your community a better place? 370 “With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don 't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together.” This quote from the recent film Hacksaw Ridge embodies my sentiment that brightening up someone’s day is the best feeling in the world for me. This desire to help others prompted me to volunteer for two years at UCLA hospital to help transport patients. Hospital patients often deal with severe pain and sometimes loneliness, and I knew that giving some of my time could improve their moods and outlooks.…

Civic engagement in a community is necessary for the growth of the inhabitants and their well-being. Foremost, my experience in volunteering for my community encouraged me to view specific social issues differently. These social issues include, the importance of positive role models, an abundance of academic/ personal resources, and the effects of structural racism.…
