Personal Statement

Volunteering allows me to connect to my community and make it a better place. What motivates me to do volunteer work is that a group needs my help and I support that group's mission by volunteering in my local community and by my own. Also I have a passion to help people. So my first project was to make a care bag. With my 8th grade and myself, we came up with an idea that it can change people's lives. We made a gofundme page and made a campaign throughout the school. We couldn’t believe that we made over $150 in 2 or 3 weeks. So we bought some food supplies, socks, first aid, and made a care bags for homeless people. In a care bag, we filled with a healthy sandwich, snacks, water, socks, and first care kits. We made over 50 bags and passed

I really appreciate my 8th grade teacher, she the one who told me to join in my local community and start volunteering as soon as possible. Plus, I love making new friends, develop new skills, and being in that community family. So this is what inspires me to volunteer. Both of my volunteer, started really well. I made new friends and helping each other while volunteering. It was really important to me because I love helping people, make new friends, and find my weak side and develop it. The effort I need to do my volunteer work is being energetic and connected/make friends while volunteering. So, in the first project, I did help to buy some food supplies, make a sandwich, and passing out around the Oakland. So in my local organization Oakland Library, I helped tidy the bookshelves, put books, magazines, or other materials in labeled spots. I also help people to find their books, magazines, etc. I had to take stuff to lost and found (security guard) as needed. So in my first project, I made a plan and shared with my classmate. Then we added few plan together and it went really

Honestly, I didn’t had any difficulties with both of my projects, it went really well. I made lots of friends and learned about homeless people’s life. It was a really great experience for me because I learned that not to judge someone by how they look, live, or act and not to figure out if someone deserves something. I think that my both of my volunteer activities went well. On the first project, me and my classmate about (10-15 students, including me) accomplished our goal. We put smiles on homeless people and passed out few care bags. I think that, even a small amount of donation could help people’s life. Yes, I will continue to do this activity with my friends in my high school. So on my second project, I think I accomplished very well. I contributed in my local organization by helping them, basically assist in the office and talk to people. I’m still involved, I volunteer once a week. I think that, both of my volunteer work helped me to become better person. I learned a lot of things, for example, I learned patience, professional experience, which I can test out my career, discovered my hidden talents, and promotes me
