At first I thought to myself how no one has helped her yet and then thought again that I should have already been there to help. My roommate noticed I ran off and she followed right behind.

    This led to me realizing how much time and energy goes into the care of a large number of animals and the running of a nonprofit shelter. From there I went on to accept a job on my college campus working as an animal care assistant. I saw to the care of the various animals in the campuses animal room. My job was to make sure that they were fed when necessary, that their cages were kept clean, and that the animal rooms were kept tidy. This job helped to give me experience working with a more diverse number of animals than I had previously been acquainted with during my time at the animal shelter. After quite a bit of searching, I was also able to acquire a position as a kennel assistant at Barton Heights Animal Hospital. It was here that I was able to observe and take part in the daily routine of working in a functional veterinary hospital. My time working there showed me the less glamorous, more challenging, grimy, and routine side of caring for the sick, abandoned, and injured animals. This position also allowed me to witness both the accomplishment of being able to cure and send home patients to successfully recover and the sad fact that some animals just do not make…

    The most influential experience in my life has been, participating in giving back to the homeless during the Christmas holiday. During this experience, I've had the pleasure of feeding the homeless and giving Christmas gifts to the less fortunate children. This influenced me to want to help others and to be more humble. When I was participating in helping others I felt that I was making a difference in my community. Instead of being selfish I set time aside to help the ones who really need helping. While helping the less fortunate I learned that I would be selfish if I did not stay humble, I have learned that helping others is a part of what I want to do for as long as I can. In my experience of all the people that I've seen, I have realized…

    Volunteering and providing services to the community in which I reside is extremely imperative to me, because of this I take as many opportunities as I can to help out. Of all of the hours I have spent volunteering, one service in particular stands out the most. A few years ago I was invited to volunteer at my town's local nursing home, I was skeptical at first, but I proceeded to accept the offer anyway. The date arrived, my group and myself entered the nursing home where we were welcomed with warm, kind smiles from all around. No one expected this, and from that moment on I knew that day would hold a special place in my heart. Both employees and residents seemed beyond gracious and thankful to have us there, and because of this, we all felt…
