Scholarship Essay: Why I Give Back To The Community

I love volunteering and I have volunteer before so completing at least 25 hours of community service hours would be awesome. I have not volunteer in such a long time so going back to do what I love during my spare time would make me feel better about myself and make the community a better place. I love to make a difference in the community. In order to meet this expectation for this scholarship, I would contact the Center for Community here at UW-Milwaukee and look for available volunteer services. I would like to talk to a mentor personally and search up available volunteer services and choose the best times/dates according to my schedule. I’ll make sure all the volunteer services match up to at least 25 hours to be qualify for the scholarship.

Giving back to community is a way to make a difference and improve the inner city. One of the main reason why I love to give back to Milwaukee County is because it makes me feel good about myself when I complete a task that needs to be done. It is so worth it when I see people in the community smiling and are appreciated by the services provided to make Milwaukee a better place. The second reason why I love giving back to the community is because of meeting different people. I am not a shy person and I am easily to get along with so any task that includes talking with people wouldn’t be an issue. I may live in Milwaukee but most of the time, I am not involved as much within the community so I think it is time to give back. Getting to meet new people could make an impact on someone’s life. We could share our stories, our struggles and build a friendship. Third reason why I love giving out to the community is strengthening the community by helping youths or even adults. The main thing is to keep kids off the streets and educate them. Doing something like playing with kids or even serving them breakfast or lunch could make a big impact in their life. Another reason why I love giving back is when I get to learn something new or improve a skill that I probably have before along with the people that I am with. There are a lot of opportunities out there and making a difference is something to feel good
