Hometown: Elgin, South
Carolina
Degree Objective: Sociology
Expected Graduation: December
2005 |
Current
volunteer activities: I
volunteer with the aging and Crisis Ministries.
|
What are you most proud of contributing
to your organization? My
time and talent. |
Previous volunteer activities: Soup
kitchen, holiday
volunteer work, and summer camps for special needs children. |
What do you enjoy about community
service? Knowing
that the time and
effort that I put into it is well spent. I am currently in
R.O.T.C. for
the Air Force, and in the future I will be serving my country, and I
will not
be able to contribute my time for others as I do now. |
Most
memorable volunteer experience: While
teaching my Life Skills class I taught about job applications, and how
to fill them out
properly. The next week, 40 percent of the class had made
resumes and
searched actively for jobs. I saw an immediate impact that I made
with
others. Also, I visit Miss Victoria Holmes, affectionately known
as Mama
Holmes. She really counts on me and looks forward to my
visits. I
enjoy her company as much as she enjoys mine. |
What
have you learned about yourself through volunteering? I
learned how one person
can make a tremendous impact on the lives of others. |
How do
you think your friends or co-workers would describe you? I
think that they would say
that I am very generous and warm hearted towards others. |
What would you tell someone who is
thinking about volunteering? I
would tell them to get
involved because regardless what major you are and how little an impact
you
think you would have on others, it does indeed make a difference.
