Community

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…

What you did? I was doing my internship at Douglas County Emergency Operation Center; we were a group of three students who are majoring in Emergency Management. Whitney Shipley supervised and taught us a lot of things during the semester. We had done tabletop exercise with three different agencies; each one of us had to choose to meet with the Police department, Business organization, and Red Cross. I chose the Red Cross and met with them many times. The Red Cross is doing an exercise in the…

Growing up in a small town of Washington state, I never felt a sense of necessity; however, this sense did not root from my family’s resources, but rather the way in which others in my community generously and genuinely served me. From having dedicated high school youth group leaders, to being taught by inspirational and intentional teachers, I always sensed that I was being granted great care and opportunity. As I grew older, the service which I was provided undoubtedly formed a desire in my…

Serving as an officer in the Coast Guard would allow me the opportunity to continue my love of service…

When the opportunity came to find community service hours for my Human Growth and Development class, I knew I wanted to help out somebody who works hard to provide me safety. I talked to my dad after finding out I needed hours and he advised me to talk to the sheriff. The sheriff told me that he would gladly appreciate my help and he decided on a task for me: washing patrol cars. I thought that washing cars seemed like an easy enough task. The day before my service my dad informed me that I…

Service learning is important for many reasons. It teaches you to put others first. When doing service learning you are often put in someone else’s shoes. Whether you are in the shoes of a gardener, a teacher or a clerk, you learn to appreciate the hard work they do on a daily basis. I'm fortunate enough to have everything I need at my fingertips, but that’s not the case for everyone. While helping others, you realize what everyday things you take for granted. This quarter I helped my french…
