The most unforgettable day was when Rodney took me to the fire station in Girard where he is a volunteer firefighter and allowed me to see how everything works and I was able to try on his uniform. I learned how they handle everything from the beginning of a call to the ending. I was showed how they handle the rescue once they get notified, depending on the type of incident; the chief will decide who comes to the station first and who goes directly to the scene since this is a volunteer fire community On the scene of a fire first, you will get the hoses off the truck and attach them to the hydrants. First, they begin to spray the fire and move into position to go inside and clear the building Most importantly, when it has been cleared of any
In Boy Scouts I served as a patrol leader for a group of about ten boys, leading them on camping and hiking trips. I also held the position of Assistant
Icy Pond The ducks played in the pond, all summer long. In the barnyard, the other animals, the sheep, the pigs and the geese, enjoyed watching the ducks, waddling upon the grass.
I would work at Little Lake and on the weekends the students would sit outside relaxing and listening to music from Lisa Magee portable 8-track player. The generosity of the staff and how they loved us was a big deal to me. Uncle Paul (The cook) had so much trust in my
I’ve been asked what it means to be an Eagle scout, but I can’t properly tell you what an Eagle scout is without explaining how it feels, and how to get there. When you earn your Eagle, you get a feeling of accomplishment, and that you have finally met that goal. But there’s more to it than that. You look back on your Eagle project, your scouting experience, all of your schooling, your home life, church events, and you realize that it isn’t something you’ve done on your own. You realize that every scout master, every senior patrol leader, every teacher, every pastor, and especially your parents, have influenced you to become an Eagle.
My first time I attended Camp K I was in 8th grade. I saw what the officers contributed to the members, the relationships they had with one another and the impact they put upon me, I knew i wanted to become a HOSA Florida State officer! By continuing my HOSA membership through my senior year of high school and becoming a regional and club officer I knew I wanted to end my senior year strong and become a state officer. By being a past club and regional officer I believe I have all the attributes to become a state officer and can contribute a substantial amount of contributions.
I have been able to exhibit my leadership skills through the Boy Scouts of America. I first joined Boy Scouts when I was only in 7th grade. I had no idea what the organization did or what they were known for. Nevertheless, I quickly realized how important Boy Scouts was to its community and also to my
In the summer before my junior year of high school I spent 4 weeks tearing down fences, cutting saplings, staining buildings, learning about my goals and ambitions, and building fences across Montana. When I put in my application for the Montana Conservation Corps I thought it would only be benefit my life by filling up my summer and doing manual labor. However, the first day with my crew proved that assumption wrong, for I learned how to make unlikely friends, how to work hard, and how to be a steward of the land. My experience with the Montana Conservation Corps split my high school experience in half. My first two years I was unmotivated, lazy, and impressionable but through those 4 weeks I learned how to be myself.
Teaching the different levels and watching the children improve was a rewarding experience for me. Refereeing for soccer and being an umpire for little league baseball and softball taught me discipline and leadership with children and parents. At the CWC, I enjoy the opportunity to assist and communicate with people in the community striving for a healthier lifestyle. I enjoy volunteering in the community and working with people of all ages.

My journey through Scouting began at the age of seven and I am proud to say that it still continues today. Scouting has unquestionably had a tremendous and lasting influence on life and development. As I progressed through the ranks and challenges, I have experienced and learned things that other kids may never have the opportunity to. These experiences, such as the advancement of survival skills, problem solving, and teamwork, all mean a great deal to me. However, the most important qualities I have received from Scouts are a combination of all these experiences.
I would come in, set up, and say the occasional “Hi”. Although I loved the people I volunteered with I wasn't getting anything out of being there. That all changed when I learn how to play Spades. Tessa had tried to teach me before but it just couldn't get it. One day when we were short a player they asked me to join.
My job would very year to year but I mostly helped with setting up events and making sure the participants got to the right event. Sometimes I would even get to participate in the event like the wheel chair relay race. I love working with this organization because I love watching the participates get excited about doing their events. Babysitting/Nanning — 2010-2016 The last six years I have gotten the opportunity to work for a family as their nanny.
Work with children Throughout my high school and college years, I have had several experiences with children that have all played a part in shaping my love for working with children. During high school, I spent two summers nannying for two young school aged children. Working with these siblings really made me realize how much fun I have working with children and watching them grow. Once I came to college, I started another babysitting job working with two four year old twin girls.
Finally, I will continue to volunteer because of it give and what you get out of it. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I came out felling really well. What I got of volunteer over and over is that giving your time and self-back to other, I will be able to bring the experience in my career and help me with college internship or
