Recommended: The importance of volunteering for students

In the spring 2015 semester I decided to sign up for the career action certificate. When I first joined I never thought I would learn so much. I learned so much about my career and about myself. In the Who I Am? Section I learned that a smile can brighten up someone’s day. I never thought that by me smiling a person would get so happy and have so much hope. Volunteering at Give Kids the World provided me with this lesson. Another thing I learned was when I went to the wellness fair and I learned about all the cool apps that can help reduce stress. College can be very stressful and by learning about those new apps and downloading the apps made me reduce a lot of stress. The next section, Where Am I Going? Taught me somethings I didn’t know

File 4: "The Path Less Traveled"--- • How has all of your experiences and lessons in Costa Rica informed how you are as a leader who is unlike any other leader? My experiences here in Costa Rica have significantly shaped who I perceive myself to be as a leader.

As I laid in bed, searching across one of my favorite websites, creepypasta, for a decent scary story to read; I stopped short. " The Other You" was the title of the extremely short story that I now wish I had never opened. The story instructed that if you stand in front of a mirror, grab a random piece of hair while looking at yourself, then holding a ruler or other object capable of accurate measurement, then marked the ruler; then afterward doing it again only without looking in the mirror, that the lengths would be different. It said that doing this created confusion to your doppelgänger, whom you supposedly see in the mirror, living in an alternate universe.

We all start out the same, as small vulnerable creatures known as infants, not born to be Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, rich, or poor, but to be human. Humans are born with the possibility of being great no matter the background, but not all live up to that potential. Of course those who do can be as legendary in history as Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Gandhi or more recently Nelson Mandela. Yet these people were not born to be Rulers and Social Reformers, but to be human, it was them who earned the greatness and put it towards what impassioned them.

I learned new concepts such as positive purchases, and the positivity of local purchases on our economy. I was able to self-reflect a great deal, as I became aware that I could be making much more positive decisions in terms of my food choices, but I was not. I realized that yes, as a student I did live a busy life which did not leave time to search for these positive food choices, but there are many options that did not require any more effort than what I was currently putting in. I learned about the vegan options on campus, as well as the local produce food shops around Hamilton. Not to add, I learned that there were certain programs that would just deliver to my door, and all of these would still fit within my student budget.
