Outside of school, I have made a variety of commitments in different areas of my life. These include volunteering at different places, earning money, and other miscellaneous items.

First, I volunteer at DCIS at Fairmont, a couple of blocks away from DCIS. I have been doing this since sixth grade. In years past, I have helped with many different teachers. Many of them have been my younger sister’s (who attends Fairmont as a fourth grader) teachers. I have also developed a relationship with the ELD teachers and the GT teacher. I continue to work with them today. I do a variety of things including doing projects like making posters for their classrooms, or even helping the kids they are teaching. This has been a huge part of my after-school routine for many years. I volunteer at Fairmont for at least 3 hours a week. Many weeks it is more than that. This has helped me with communication skills, having to communicate with both the teachers and students there at the school. My family …show more content…

I put about 30 minutes to an hour into this each week, because I have to balance it with my schoolwork and other commitments. This has really helped my time-management skills. In the summer, it was easy to have the time to put my full attention into my shop, but during school, I have to work to balance it with schoolwork. It also gives me an excuse to practice my drawing and hand lettering and improve in those areas of my life. While this has been a challenge, I know that it has been beneficial to me In addition to earning money through my Etsy shop, I babysit. I spend about 2 hours on this each week. Of course, some weeks I babysit more, some less. I have a consistent babysitting job every Wednesday after school. This has helped improve my leadership skills. Although I practice them every day at home, by being an older sibling, it is different being a leader to a child that I am not related

I assist teachers and providers with planning and organizing learning experiences. During times when my student is with another teacher and my presence is not required I assist the classroom teacher or special education teachers with preparing learning materials. I have used the copier, computer, laminator and various other educational materials.

I believe that it is important to take an active role in one's community, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to do so through these meaningful experiences. In addition to my involvement in dance classes, babysitting, and serving as a Junior Counselor at camp, I have also found a way to give back to my community by assisting at a Blue Dragons preschool during my study hall. This opportunity has allowed me to support the education and development of young children in my town, providing them with a nurturing and stimulating environment in which to grow and learn. Through this experience, I have gained valuable skills in communication, organization, and patience, as well as a deep appreciation for the importance of early childhood education. By volunteering my time at the preschool, I can make a positive impact on the lives of children in my community, laying the foundation for their future success and well-being.

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.

Volunteering time at church and school have become a major part of what I do. The youth group I belong to at St. Thomas UCC collects items and put together hygiene bags for the YWCA. For school, I often volunteer to help with the bands, working in the kitchen for Indoor Drumline shows and helping to set up the Craft Show. I also assist my classmates if they request it. If a student is absent, I will take responsibility to send them notes they may have missed in class, and also what they homework is so they can attempt to do it.

I was in a group of four teaching and motivating a small group of students to learn about careers and how to plan for expenses.

I’ve always been inspired to help others and give back to the community. As early as 4th grade I raised enough money to go to an orphanage in Cameroon and donate clothes and toys to the children in person. In 6th grade I started selling my handmade crochet scarves to raise money for care packages for domestic violence victims. After I made the care packages I gave them in person to victims at the YWCA. Simultaneously I launched a petition on change.org in hopes for a law that protect children against emotional abuse.

Volunteering in my school 's Special Education Department is one of the most reward service activities I 've ever done. As a junior, I do not have a first period class because of dual credit. I have the option of sleeping in, but instead of getting extra sleep, I spend my time aiding in our pre-vocational Special Ed program. Getting to help my peers that are in the program is extremely gratifying. My classmates that are in Special Ed often feel alienated and neglected by their peers without disabilities.

Though I have not realized this trait previously, I have currently implementing my ability to lead and assist the community. In my latter years of high school, I have volunteered with many organizations and have had leading roles in these organizations to build the society as a whole. For example, I volunteer with North Carolina Teen Court Association and One Step Further Inc.. In Teen Court (aka Peer Court), Students volunteer as jurors in cases where children 17 years and younger have committed misdemeanor crimes in school and are given the opportunity to correct their mistakes by volunteering with the community and participating in rehabilitation services tailored to their specific crimes. If the children cooperate with the services provided for them, they can have their criminal record expunged.
