Volunteer Essay

This week was about our volunteer experience and that is what I would like to talk about in my journal. I think that I went a bit non-traditional with doing volunteer cooking and cleaning for Malone’s indigent clients. I really did enjoy it though. My boss said he would rather me spend time within our company doing volunteer work than going elsewhere during business hours. I do not have the opportunity to do anything on weekends with my children being home and my husband having had a recent…

I do think I will be happy forever helping others who need my help as a volunteer”. That's when I truly understood my love for volunteering and making others smile.

First semester has concluded, and I am happy enough with the results that I have obtained. I took classes that changed the destiny of my college exploration, courses that challenged me (but made me realize that I am not as good as I thought I would in Germanic languages), courses that developed and enhanced my writings skills, such as the University Writing Seminar, which was a complex, but rewarding course, and courses, which I somehow enjoyed, but taught me that English is not predestinated to…

Our names were on the junior varsity roster. I was…

I came to realize this issue because there was a time in my life when I was homeless, and I was practically told that there would be no immediate help available to me since there are no adults under the age of 18 who live in the same household as myself. My mother and I were evicted from our home in December 2014, just a few days before New Year 's Day. For confidentiality, I will refer to my mother as…
