A Little At A Time I don’t have big, great, and innovative ideas as to how I’d like to give back to Hawai’i. My goal is to further my education so that one day I do have big, great, and innovative ideas as to how I’d like to give back to Hawaii. Until then, I want to do whatever little things I can. I believe that the little things in life make a big difference. It can be as simple smiling, saying hello, holding the door open, or offering to lend a hand. People often think that you need to do something big to give back to the community, but I feel the little things are just as important. The first step is being nice. Kindness and compassion can work wonders. Being nice would be the starting point, so giving back wouldn’t and shouldn’t end there. While I may not have a wonderful idea of how to help people, other people do have wonderful ideas and have already created programs and foundations dedicated to helping others. There are many opportunities to donate time …show more content…

This transition period into the next stage of my life is a perfect time to start participating more in volunteer programs. Hawaii has lots of programs all over the islands. Even if I go to mainland for college, my breaks would be a good time to volunteer in programs here at home. Participating in pre-established programs is a great second step in giving back to the community. As with anything in life, giving back is an upward progression. After high school, I will go to college, and there I will learn so much more. I could use that knowledge and the experiences I gained over time to better identify problems here in Hawaii and be capable of creating great solutions. So, my ultimate goal for giving back is to start small and begin doing more and more as I grow over time and use my new knowledge and life experiences to do something more than give a smile or volunteer for the summer. I would like to eventually start programs or foundations that help people in

Growing up in a lower-middle class home, I have learned to be modest and frugal. I have also learned that nothing comes free and that everything must be earned through determination and hard work. So when I joined the Cub Scouts at age 7, I was determined to excel and achieve the highest rank in scouting, Eagle Scout. Since then, I have been intent on changing things for the better in everything I participated in. Ergo, having a lifetime goal to give back to the Earth, whether it be directly by studying chemistry to help the Earth or indirectly by donating some of my time and money back into the science field to help fund future developments of technology, seems best for the world.

When I graduate and get older one of the other ways that I plan to give back to Hawai’i is to do like community service or like support any sort of public gathering or occasions such as a peace day parade, cherry blossom festival, and the county fair. I hope that when I give back to people in hawaii and the people that helped me out along the way, that they will appreciate it and appreciate my work that I do for them. If a family has electric problems at home I will fix it and make it seem like it’s brand new again, and if a family has any other kind of problems that they need fixing I still will try my best to help them solve the problem even if I am not to experienced in whatever it is. I believe that if every person gives back to their community then good things will come their way and that way everybody is happy enough to keep that cycle going for awhile. This is why I plan do just do whatever I can to try my hardest to give back to Hawaii and my community.

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation
