Volunteering

school work, volunteering, and patient contact hours in order to become competitive for an acceptance into medical school and to be introduced to the leadership skills required in my field. From there I will lead in my medical field by being aware of my own strengths and weaknesses, and leading others to success. To seem competitive when applying to medical school, I must take initiative in order to be a well-rounded student. I want to go the extra mile when it comes to volunteering and…

I relentlessly sought medical opportunities and immersed myself in this intriguing field. Through my experiences volunteering and working, I was reassured that the ever-changing nature of medicine would allow me to utilize my skills to the fullest and challenge me daily. The dynamic nature of work in the emergency department always intrigued me. I pursued this curiosity by volunteering at the Emergency Department of Children 's Hospital of Michigan. I chose this setting because the emergency…

job has really taught me so many things of interaction that I wouldn’t have learnt anywhere as a speech language pathologist would need to learn how to interact with people to get their case history and give fair results. Getting out there and volunteering at different places that are speech based is also not a bad way of getting…

In this paper I will reflect on my experience volunteering with the Building Bridges program and describe the cultural group this program serves. Furthermore, I will discuss my analysis of the impact of oppression and privilege on the students enrolled in the program using concepts I have learned in the course. Finally, I will reflect on what I have learned about myself in the process of interacting with a cultural group that is outside of my comfort zone. Throughout the semester I volunteered…

It was small volunteering roles back then such as score keeping after school every day. Then in grade 8 I was awarded the “Student Who Makes A Difference” award by the staff members at my middle school. I was awarded this because of my ongoing positive attitude and outgoing…

myself, I’ll start at the beginning. I, like any other student interested in biological science, began volunteering at a hospital. When I started working there, I had a preconceived notion that volunteering at a hospital meant I would be a part of a medical team and do something related to science. It is this supposedly naive viewpoint which actually ended up turning an average high school volunteering experience into one of my most significant learning experiences. I started out in a…

have the opportunity to have an education you take it. My parents didn’t have the money to go to school, but I still can. I have and continue to volunteer with kids and elders. I always believe that when you help others the good comes back. While volunteering I had the opportunity to make someone's day and help out the community at the same time. The feeling of just a single smile could change the mood of my whole day.…

Manchester students chosen to go to Uganda for a month, as part of Team Uganda to help a charity called S.A.L.V.E with some social, community research and to help run an educational summer school for children who live on the streets. From this volunteering, I have experience with…

helping the community. I have been dedicated to P.A.W.S. and the San Diego Humane Society, as well as helping the kids in the La Mesa Spring Valley School District. When I started with these organizations, I could not wait, especially to start volunteering. Now today, I am just as excited to have the opportunity of being the treasurer of Key Club. As a freshman, I’ve had a year of growth and it allowed me to open my eyes to the world of Key Club. I have pulled weeds, cut box tops,…

As members of our high school’s Key Club, a community service international group, we pride ourselves in community service and our ability to enjoy the service projects we commit ourselves to. The benefits we reap from taking a part in community service goes beyond the mere hours for a sheet; we gain the morale and communication skills that the “real world” expects us to live up to. However, making community service a graduation requirement would make students dread the act, viewing service more…
