I sat with a girl and talked to her before she left, then when the kindergarteners came in I helped a girl read some books, we played some games, did some homework and then when into the gym.
For our small group PSG meeting we created pamphlets with inspirational messages all over them to give to people.
At this PSG meeting we worked on hygiene kits for people. We wrote cards and put them in little bags along with some goodies.
The three panelists spoke in depth about their experiences in service and devotion to their communities. My personal favorite part was how confident they all were about their desire to be around people and help them, even if they weren't entirely sure what field they'd end up in, they knew that they wanted to be involved with a community. I also really like the strategy of saying yes to every opportunity that presents itself because you will learn about yourself and what you like and you could potentially help others along the way.
I sat with a boy named Devin and talked about musicals, hunger games, and art while we colored and he ate his snack. I then sat with a group that was focused on team building, where I then broke off into a group and worked with a boy named Liam. I ended the session with handing out pizza and fruit to the students for their dinner.
I went to a 7th grade class and assisted with their lecture, helped get the kids outside, and helped get them in order for an assembly in the gym.
Me, along with a few other volunteers, helped setting up and organizing different activities for students to use in the future.
I brought in shirts and we created dog toys out of the shirts
We helped students with their homework and any assignments they may have not completed earlier in the day. I worked with a boy named Jo’el. We finished his history assignment and worked on some of his English homework. I really enjoyed this experience and would love to go back.
I was able to cement my own views on community involvement and what it means to be involved and to help your community. I plan on continuing to help with the senior care center and getting involved in any events the Nursing club or program may be hosting.
