exposed to many scenarios during those classes that I can apply to my future opportunities. It also has inspired me to utilize those talents I am passionate about in activities at the high school. Some projects I have worked on for the school and community include: revamping and recreating Jacobs Gymnastics’ website, filming and editing promotional videos for volunteers and participants of Unity Point, the YMCA and Waukee APEX’s Healthy Kids Day, making promotional videos for the APEX program…

geopolitical community I live in is Orlando, Florida. Florida is a key State that many president candidates try their best to win during election time. Politics of Florida reflect a state that has experienced conflict between its liberal southeastern region and its traditionally conservative northern region. A geopolitical community is a community with defined geographical and jurisdictional boundaries, such as rural municipalities, towns or city communities. The boundary of a geopolitical…

The Lion’s motto “We Serve” empowers volunteers to encourage and serve their communities in any way possible. The two word motto is a statement that reminds us to put others before ourselves. As a child, my parents taught me the importance of helping others. Now, as a senior in high school I try to put this knowledge into action. I think the motto “We Serve” can apply to my life on a daily basis. Serving others doesn’t have to be a huge project; a helping hand is always needed. Opening the doors…

Neighborhood Comparison While the identity of people used to be assigned it is now something that you make yourself or select (Howard). I chose two neighborhoods that I believe would differ greatly in income levels and also would differ a little bit in race. I thought it would be extremely interesting if I was to observe a multitude of extreme differences in these two neighborhoods due to the fact that they are less than a mile apart from each other. I already had some sort of knowledge of the…

Small Town Communities Living in a small rural community like Ellendale has been a great influence on my life. The small town life has been fun and makes me want to come back. The ability to ride bike from one side of the town to the other is also another convenience of living in this community. The support for local sports teams in small towns is also very good. Families and people who don’t have kids playing still come and cheer on their hometown team. It creates a very good relationship…

The last week of my internship at the Gallatin Valley Food Bank was spent working on tasks that are completed on a day to day basis by volunteers and the type of work that made up the majority of my internship hours.

the children to express themselves through different outlets (Ohayon, 1997). I also feel when advocating for at-risk youths it is important to be supportive and understanding of their lives and the issues they are facing at home and within their communities. I found that many of the organizations that advocate for homeless and at-risk youths believe in providing support and empowering personal growth and success. The organization Stand Up for Kids is an organization that works with homeless…

Beloved Community If you open your eyes and take a closer look at the small town of Alpena, you can see it’s a great place to be born and raised in. I’m grateful to live here because there isn’t much crime here and most of the people living here are kind. Alpena could use more activities for the youth though. I know as a teenager that I’d like to have more things to do with my friends. Volunteers, fundraising, and grants could help achieve in bringing more things to do for not only children,…
