Where I live, Wyandotte County, is always thought of the poorest county in Kansas. Not many people live in the area compared to other big counties. When going around the neighborhood many building and houses are abandoned. Families are living in house that are falling apart, others are homeless. Many students drop out, if they continue school they leave and never look back. Health care is really bad in my community. Many people are undocumented or poor. Not everyone has the resources to go to the doctor. I want that to be different. Every night gunshots can be heard in the distance. Not long ago, I heard gunshots around 3 AM. I woke up scared and couldn’t fall back asleep. I remember years ago my neighborhood was really calm but now something always happens. I don’t want other children to be scared to go outside or sleep. I want to make …show more content…

I loved the way it made me feel. When I started to help, I did it as a way to get community service. I thought it was the best experience. I decided I wanted to keep helping out even if I did not need community service hours. I felt comfortable being around kids. I have always wanted to specialize in something that involved children. Having this opportunity made me completely sure that I wanted to be around children for the rest of my life. The teachers would always ask me for help and for me it felt right. It felt like I belonged there. I gained a lot of knowledge as an individual. I was able to help them out the kids and they ended up loving me. I received a lot of confidence and knowledge about children. Helping every day for a while helped me overcome my shyness. Kids make me very happy and I now know I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life working with them. Family members and friends always told me I would get bored of it and I would change my career. I have been sure of going to the medical field ever since I was in the 5th

I am aware that there is a big difference between working with adults and working with children and this is a real challenge for me. I love challenges and feel very excited about this. Working with adults will give me a possibility to develop a valuable relationship with my students. I will be also able to give them an access to an incredible tool - a new language. I will also have an opportunity to learn from them - as each human being is a different story that influences their environment and the people they meet.

I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.

What I mean by this is that I have helped many children do their homework or helped them with their spelling words or science experiment. This was not a job I had I just helped them because their parent was unable to help them because they did not now English. One thing I learn from this experience was not giving the children the answer. For example if they were doing math, I had to help them work it out. It was hard times not to give them

You shape and mold them to become the person they are. While it doesn’t pay as fitting, and it does have long hours, with also some disrespect. That all ties in to bring minds and hearts into the future of tomorrow. Teaching children is not for the weak and money hungry.

Civic Engagement Project I never believed how in-depth the concept of civil engagement was until I participated in this class. I did not volunteer for Homer’s Heroes because of this course, however I do volunteer every year during the summer for the last 3 years. I have to admit my motives were selfish, in that the individuals help me more than I think I help them, while being a good person, I was not being a good citizen. (Etzioni, 1999) In this paper, I will describe why I chose Homer’s Heroes, the experiences I had, and how it related to this course. Nineteen years ago, I gave birth to a son that was mentally and physically handicapped, he lived 6 days and passed away because of his birth defects.

Community service does not only have a profound impact on our community, but the impact it has on the individual people is even greater. The concept of community service has always been something that I grew up with, and now that I am older I better understand how important community service is for society. I have participated in community service activities. Starting in elementary school, I helped feed the homeless and rescue animals. Even with my wide range of volunteer experience, it was difficult to find an activity that would be meaningful and fulfill my thirty-hour obligation for my senior project.
