My Experience as a Humane Society Volunteer In elementary school‚ I decided that I wanted to work with animals. My mom told me that Humane Society volunteers had to be 8 or older‚ so I waited. Soon after my 8th birthday‚ after looking forward to the opportunity for what felt like many years‚ I was finally able to attend classes in dog walking‚ dog bathing‚ and cat house monitoring. Of those‚ I took to bathing the dogs because it had the least rules. I don’t remember whether I chose to work with

friends‚ have took on a critical Leader role in my club‚ and most of all devoted my time to my community. I am glad Community Service is required for high school because of all its benefits. Every time I volunteer I put forth my best effort. Volunteering is very exciting. It helps me be satisfied with what I have. Sometimes we want more clothes‚ jewelry‚ electronics‚ and more‚ but some people wish they had what we had. This is why I love to donate my clothes and I wouldn’t hesitate too either.

100 hours of community service with proof of completion. I hadn’t done much community service. In fact‚ I did nothing to benefit anyone but myself. To me‚ 100 hours is an enormous amount of time to spend helping others. The 5 hours I have done volunteering so far for me‚ has been a truly a great experience. It is amazing how my time and effort were appreciated by others. As cheer practice approached‚ I was thinking about how I would have to sacrifice my day to go and help a bunch of

Time and time again‚ our society feels the need to remind us of the remarkable altruistic deeds of people like Martin Luther King‚ Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale‚ and also retell the parable of the Good Samaritan. However‚ our society recognizes that everyone is not cut from the same cloth and capable of performing immense altruistic deeds‚ but it shares these stories in hopes of encouraging even the smallest acts of kindness and selflessness as we go about in our daily life.

On St. Patrick’s Day I had the pleasure of volunteering in a first grade class at my former elementary school. Each time I go back to the school‚ it brings back memories that I have not thought of in many years. Elementary school seems like a lifetime ago for me. But‚ because I had so many good experiences there‚ I love being able to be a part of the memories that kids today will always have. For example‚ holidays were always some of the best memories of my time at Lanigan because the teachers always

However‚ in 2010‚ a group of citizens wanted to change the nature of the shelter and had a goal of doing as much as possible for every animal‚ every day (1). This goal was the first step on the journey of the shelter becoming A Shelter of Hope.
