According to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory, I am currently in the Intimacy versus Isolation stage. In this paper, I will delve into Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory and examine the first five stages of his theory and how I transitioned through them. The first stage in Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory is the Trust versus Mistrust stage. I identify myself under the trust side of the first stage of Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory. In this stage,…

“Community” is a word that connects us with each other; it highlights a specific experience that we all share, a community is more than just a neighborhood, it is a common identity, and it is a set of relationships among people. It is pivotal that each and everyone of us give back to this experience in anyway we can. It is our civic duty as members of our communities to engage in some form service. Giving back to the community has a lasting and positive impact on society at large. Community…

Nursing Home, St. Cloud Hospital, and St. Francis Xavier Church. I have always felt compelled to give back and what better way than through volunteering. Spending time with the elderly, fills my soul. To be able to give them the gift of time is rewarding, especially knowing that many are unable to see their grandchildren as often as they would like. Volunteering at the St. Cloud Hospital is something I really enjoy because I am able to help out in a medical scene and complete tasks that help…

Service Learning Reflection Journal I had the chance to be a volunteer at Friend’s Place Adult Day Services in McKinney.

The facility provides services for the members designed to assist them in their day to day living. It offers care and socialization which includes games, dancing, simple learning…

others and I admire that very much. I believe the inspiration of Ronald Reagan has impacted me, because I love helping others and making things positive for everyone around me. In my community and school, I've made a difference by volunteering my time to help others. Volunteering at my city's animal shelter is probably one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. At Indianapolis Animal Care Services, people come in to surrender pets, adopt pets, and volunteer time to shelter pets. I have…

September 4th 2013 to June 20th 2017. The days between these dates are filled with memories as struggling to adapt to the rotation schedule, attending sports games with friends, finding the perfect prom dress, and eventually saying goodbye. The last four years of my life are filled with my best and worst days and recollections that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Being surrounded by a multitude of different students and teachers has exposed me to many miscellaneous aspects of life itself…

embracing greater responsibilities in multiple organizations in order to make a difference. I would like to highlight my work with the National Honor Society (NHS). Currently, I am president of my school’s chapter. Through diligently working and volunteering my freshman year, I was recognized by the advisor who then continued to create the role of parliamentarian specifically for me. As a junior I was voted vice-president by my peers and earned the position of president by senior…

member in my community. Throughout my years as a student athlete at Panther Valley High School, when I wasn't practicing, studying or participating in my local chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), I would be volunteering in my community. Whether it be volunteering at a cheer clinic for younger girls, helping make dinner for our football players…

I held my grandfather's hand as he stepped out of his wheelchair and onto the couch. My grandfather suffered the loss of no feeling on the left side of his body. My grandfather had suffered a stroke this past summer and the consequence was no feeling on his left side. For one month of my summer break, I was my grandfathers caretaker. I helped him move from his wheelchair to the couch. I assisted in getting him into bed. I was the left side of his body. Through that one month, three times a week,…
