Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Volunteering With Children
My experiences I consumed working with children is when I volunteer at EdVenture, Teacher Cadet Class and from working at Chuck E. Cheese’s. When I volunteer at EdVenture I experience interacting with the children by doing assignments with them such as making gingerbread houses. In my teacher cadet class I travel to different elementary schools to read to kids and also do little activities with them that pertains to the story. I also get to visit the Special Ed classes to converse and also to complete activities with them as well. At my job Chuck E. Cheese’s I am able to host a child’s birthday party and also play with them in the game room. This has prepared me by causing me to have full contact and interaction with children of different ethnic,

    Being a leader in 4-H, I have taken on many roles to make the 4-H experience a memorable and very enjoyable. One of my more recent projects was creating a six week Cloverbud Science Club. After school, the cloverbuds in the Perham School District would come to the Science Club and learn various science topics including space, water, and chemistry. I prepared the lesson, taught, and cleaned up. Besides teaching, I became a quick problem solver when it came to a conflict. I learned how long the youth could focus on a project and how to explain the results from their experiments. This science program was the first taste of 4-H many of these students had, but it made their 4-H experience a fun and memorable journey. By implementing these programs,…

    As a child protective services worker, when interacting with a hostile, resistant or non -voluntary client, I would use several techniques to build rapport and engage the client in working with the agency. Being a social worker for the last ten years, and having four years of direct experience in child protect services, I have come across many reluctant clients. I learned very quickly that rapport is the foundation to any service provider in the social work field. Upon a first visit with a client, one needs to remember that you do not know them any more than they know you. It is important to be empathetic and understand that the client has just had a stranger come into their home and take away their child/children. You, are also a stranger coming into their home, and need to respect their home, as well as, the situation they are experiencing. It is very common to see a hostile and/or resistant client in the beginning of services.…

    As the single child in a family with working parents, I spent the most time of my childhood living and hanging around with my dog. This experience might be one of the reasons that I am very compassionate to animals and sensitive to people’s needs. My voluntary work is in a welfare house called Alenah's home. I love working there because I like seeing the smile face of the children there – even some autism babies don’t smile facially, I believe they can feel the love when being caressed softly.…

    I cannot wait for the opportunity at the Salvation Army. I have always heard about the wonderful things that the Salvation does for individuals and families, but I have never gotten the chance to experience it for myself. I have learned recently that there is a vulnerable population that comes to the Salvation Army for assistance, the homeless and people in poverty. To care for a vulnerable population in their own environment I think will make me really sad and grateful at the same time. It will make me very sad because I usually get sad over the less fortunate and want to help them whichever way I can. At the same time, it will make me feel grateful, and make me reflect back every so often on the greatness in my life. I think our society does not realize how much goodness we really have compared to third world countries. There are millions of people suffering out there and including myself, we do not always hear about them. This experience is giving me the opportunity to care for a vulnerable population in deep desirable need.…

    I have the experience of volunteering for two times. Both schools that I went to are very poor school as most of students come from neighbor countries such as Myanmar and Cambodia, whom their parents immigrate illegally to Thailand for working opportunity. Also the school director tries to help this children by give them opportunity to study without tuitions fee, which is make financial support from the government is not enough. Therefore, my friends and I went to give the necessary stuffs such as sport facilities and some amount of money that my friends and I did the donation from kind-hearted people. We also educated them in various topics such as teach them English daily use sentences and basic economics in term of how to saving. The reason that I choose to teach them how to saving is I found that their family financial status is not good, so it is necessary for them to use money correctly and make sure that they will not overspending.…

    Whether it was holding the door open for the person behind me or simply telling them to have a nice day, my favorite thing to do has always been to make people smile. In elementary school, more often than not, I assumed the role of class helper. This entailed staying after class parties to help clean up messes or spending extra time at recess to make sure all of the kickballs were in their specific spots. As I've grown up, it only makes sense that my love for helping people in any shape or form has translated into a love for volunteering. Whether it is tutoring elementary school children or helping run a clothing drive, the numerous altruistic tendencies that have been instilled in me through volunteer work will forever shape who I am as a…

    Carefully, with a shaky hand, I successfully inserted an insulin pump into my left thigh. I counted every carbohydrate I ate and timidly calculated my carbohydrate/insulin ratio. The liquid I was distributing throughout my body was not in fact insulin, but saline. Volunteering as a diet aide at Camp Carefree, a children’s summer camp for type one diabetics, gave me the opportunity to know what it felt like to step into these innocent children’s shoes.…

    Working with kids didn’t seem like a big deal at first. In fact, the idea was really intriguing. However, as the time began to bring me closer to the moment, I could feel my heartbeat… every single pound in my chest harder and louder than the previous one. It beats so hard, I thought it might escape my chest. The thud began to echo in my ears, louder than my footsteps against the marble floor. I paused at the doorway, letting my eyes roam the room before anyone noticed my appearance. One last time, my unsteady hands quickly ran down my thighs through my faded light blue jeans. As the door stood towering above me, I let out a shaky breath, closing my eyes. I grasped the doorknob, the cold metal sending a shiver up my already quivering arm. I…

    It was a peaceful Saturday night when I was eleven and, of course, I desired chocolate milk. I drink soy milk since I am severely allergic to milk and eggs. In our refrigerator, the soy milk is always on the right side and the regular milk is on the left. However, on that night, someone put the regular milk on the wrong side of the refrigerator. I did not recognize that I poured the regular milk into my cup. I was so excited to drink the chocolate milk so I chugged most of the glass. This was a huge mistake. Immediately, my throat began to itch; I felt like I had an eraser in my throat. I started to panic when I realized what was happening, and I told my dad who rushed me into the bathroom. I began throwing up violently, and my heart was beating like I had just run a marathon. My mom…
