MYP Personal Project

For my Personal Project I wanted to do something with the community that had something dealing with giving. I want collect 500 shirts and pants to donate to the Salvation Army. For me to be able to complete this job I would have to make sure that I stay in contact with the Salvation Army. If you don’t stay in contact they will forget about everything. I’m also going to ask the Wal-Mart on Powder Springs rd. to see if I can use their property so that I can have an event so that I would be in a place where everyone comes so that people know where the place is.
I also have all the information on donating to the Salvation. Why I want to do this is because I love to give to the community because I think it is wonderful to be able to want to give to the other communities. Have also found out that they do different events in the summer for different communities and I can volunteer to be a part of that. They do different events to help the veteran’s .Also in the summer they go around to different communities and go to their pool and give the children a snack bag that is filled with a sandwich, juice, chips, and a side snack. Maybe when I get to the Salvation Army and they see a teenager bringing in all these clothes maybe I could get a good recognized from them, and I can get known for this (said Ms.Manwell).

So for my personal Project I want to donate cloths to the Salvation Army and have like really cool events to bring the community closer together and I want to be able to make sure people remember that is the girl who brought in all those clothes that she donated to us or gave to us. So that is what I want to do for my Personal

    The second organization that I had the opportunity to volunteer for is Goodwill Rescue mission. They created this organization in 1896. Under the leadership of Rev. Lawrence Sutherland, the purpose of the organization moved from being a struggling institution to one with a nationwide reputation. They shared the love of God in Christ by providing food, shelter, spiritual guidance and instruction for the poor and the homeless in Newark. According to Goodwill Rescue mission, they affiliate with helping the individuals directly rather than send them someplace else to fend for themselves. The program is also working with some of these individuals to get them back on their feet to fend for themselves. They have to go through programs if any of them…

    Goodwill and Salvation Army are two examples of charities that take donations from others and sell them at a discount price to make those donations cheaper for people who can’t afford to buy those kinds of things. Salvation Army alone serves around 75,000 people annually.…

    I’ve been involved with a organization called Klothe-a-Kid since 7th grade. It’s main purpose is to provide supplies to those in need in rural parts of Kentucky. Through it, I’ve been fortunate enough to work organizing and passing out clothes, school supplies, food, and more to my surrounding neighborhoods and counties. Since Klothe-a-Kid is a Christian-based service, I’ve also been fortunate enough to introduce several new people to my faith while meeting them through the monthly events KAK holds. I believe the reason I consider Klothe-a-Kid to be one of my most significant involvements in my community is because of the scope of which I am allowed to work. I am able to schedule new events in concord with the founder of KAK, for places which…

    This isn’t as hard as people may make it out to seem. Just simply taking a minute or two out of your day could help in tremendous ways. Going back to my service, as individuals, my team and I may have had plans to go out and have some fun with family and/or friends during the day we participated in the Hoops for Haiti fundraiser. Yet and still, we came together as a team in agreement to put our plans aside to participate knowing that it will be helpful to those that needed a helping hand.…

    Thrift stores in the South Brunswick area play an integral role in supporting our schools, troubled teens, homeless, victims of abuse, and those who are financially unstable. With this in mind, the members of the Ocean Ridge Charities Association, Inc (ORCA) asked each other, “Why not embrace these worthwhile causes with a community-wide service program for the annual National Make A Difference Day?” And with that ambition the idea germinated into what became Ocean Ridge Goes M.A.D.D. for Make a Difference Day. Six local thrift stores were the benefactors of the all ORCA’s and the volunteers’ labors - Providence Home, Hope Harbor, Brunswick Family Assistance, Brunswick Senior Resource Inc., Community in Schools and Habitat for Humanity.…

    Let’s move on to how to donate items. There are three steps to take in order to donate your items. Number one, you have to determine whether or not your item/items are useful. Most charities can only make use of items that are new, unused, or nearly new. If you don't have any use for your old, tattered couch, rusty washing machine, or other used item, chances are neither will a charity. Similarly, a timeshare that has turned out to be a bad investment for you won't do much to help out a worthy charity. Number two, Consider selling your items and donating the proceeds to charity. By donating cash instead of goods you allow charities greater flexibility in spending the money so that it reaches the people or animals that need it the most. When you sell the items yourself you also eliminate the for-profit middleman…

    During persuasive writing pieces authors try to make you see their point of view as valid. Often times during this process, their writing is compromised by the errors they make to prove their point. David Thomas makes many errors in his essay "The Mind of a Man." In his thesis he tries to prove that women are not smarter than men as previously believed, but instead that they just excel at different tasks. However, throughout his whole essay, he describes that boys are discouraged by female teachers and does not stick to his thesis. He showed a biased point of view that he supported with only anecdotal evidence and studies that contained no numbers or statistics. Also, his use of emotion in his essay showed his anger towards others views that…

    When I was younger, I participated in Girl Scouts where we volunteered in food pantries, senior centers, hospitals, animal shelters and charities for the less fortunate. We also participated in service projects such as making cards for veterans, making blankets for hospitals and the homeless, and made care packages for veterans and the hurricane victims. Volunteering is important to me because I had an aunt that unfortunately died of cancer and I feel that no one should have to go through the pain and suffering that she did.…

    So far for my Graduation Project I have worked quite a bit communicating between people and trying to get events arranged. My graduation project is going to be on Geriatric Nursing and my product will be in two parts. First I will host a Blood Drive at Southwood Nursing Center on April 11th which I have already arranged with Southwood and the hospital in Clinton. Secondly I will gather items from church, family and friends to take to Southwood and be distributed among the residents. I became a certified CNA last semester and while doing my clinical I grew a deep bond between the residents there. Most have been placed there because families are unable to take care of their constant needs and many become neglected by family over time. I noticed while there that only a few of the residents received regular visits from family or friends. Our healthcare system simply cannot afford the necessities that people need at times and many times there is a under stock of items like soap and deodorants. The second part of my product will include taking up these types of items and distributing them. Items will include toiletries such as soaps, deodorants, toothpaste and toothbrushes, razors and brushes as well as items that help keep them occupied such as books and puzzles. And of course blankets are included because the anatomy of a geriatric patient keeps them cold constantly. I believe that this project will not only be beneficial to me and my grade but will also be beneficial to the residents who are deeply in need. My mentor is a RN in the community and someone who has been in the field for over 25 years. She is extremely knowledgeable on the topic and even worked in a long term facility for years. The staff at Southwood are friends of mine and are very supportive of my project and have even agreed for the living room of the facility to be the venue of the blood drive. Although abuse in these types of facilities is common I have found that the staff at Southwood are very…

    The name of the Social program that I have created is a shelter for teenage mothers and abused and battered women, it like a home away from home. The name of the shelter is called Women of Worth. At this shelter we want to make every woman feel and know that they are special and someone is interested in them and want to make sure they don’t stay in the condition that they are in but want them to know there is a way out for them and they can rise again and be the strong independent woman of worth that they are. We provide room and board and three hot meals per day for these women; we even send them to school to learn a skill that will eventually help them in the business world when they get their feet on the ground.…
