    During my junior year of high school, I somewhat became aware of Women's Right Issue. I have made an effort to evaluate majority of the culture standard that I had previously taken in as it just being “the untaught order of items.” One of the directions that I took to enlarge my knowledge of the female soul involved in women’s creative writing. That is one reason why I spent some time of my life crying, laughing, feeling puzzled, and often, feeling livid and worried. It all started when I decided to pick up a book called “The Women’s Room” and read the book.…

This way they can foster strong, enduring and professionally supported relationships to change lives for the better. Sometimes all you need is a mentor to make your life a lot more…

    Language can be the source of comedy or the source of fear. Language can also help us determine the geological location of a person. Also to go along with this a person’s identity can be seen through language. This concept of identity seen through language, is what we saw in the book Homegirls by Norma Mendoza-Denton. Through this book she was able to show us the linguistic ethnography of the Sor Juana High School Latina girls in a neighborhood in Northern California. Many of the girls she documents in the book are part of the gangs Norte or Sur. Sor Juana High School is located in Santa Clara California and has a Hispanic population of 403,000 which is 24% of the population in the county. With the Homegirls book Mendoza-Denton shows us concepts of the Latina girl’s language and how it shapes them to the views of the outside audience. For this analysis I am going to focus on the hemispheric localism and Muy Macha, because these concepts shows how language can be expressed through body language or oral language.…

    One voluntary setting in my area, which provides care and education for children, is Brunswick Youth Club. The club provides evening activities for children Monday to Friday term time and through school holidays. The club also offers holiday schemes where children have the opportunity to go on trips to leisure centres, theatre shows and the cinema, and also weekend trips to adventure sites.

    My biggest community activity is for Special Olympics of New Jersey. My family and I attend many of the events for SONJ including the Summer Games. I started volunteering by working and playing with the athletes. The area we staffed was where the athletes came to take a break and play with carnival-like games. The ages ranged from little kids to adults. It was fun putting smiles on their faces when you told them they won! It showed me we aren’t any different than them. They still like to do sports and have fun. They love to win prizes as do we. They just have disabilities that make them special. Over all volunteering for SONJ is a fantastic experience and in my opinion every boy and…

    I use to be picked on my older kids for random things I could not change. So in return I never judge others by the way they look, act or are. In fifth grade I joined a group called M&Ms (Mentors and Mediators), where I helped kids with their academic struggles. It may of been one of the only clubs I have been in but I realized that when I help other people, they inturn constantly lend me a hand. Even though I have not participated in frequent clubs that help the school and/or community, but I think NJHS will help me better my community.…

    In my Senior Year of being in the National Honor Society, I was excited to volunteer and to help those in need. I helped out with a soup kitchen in Brainerd through another organization that I am in, the Student Council. As I scooped soup into bowls and placed them onto people’s trays, I could see a look of appreciation and gratitude on their faces. This was the first time in my National Honor Society career where I understood just how much my time and effort meant to these individuals. This volunteer opportunity made me realize that a simple meal, smile, and effort to do something helpful and nice can really make someone’s day brighter or easier.…

    The program that I chose to create is a community service program for adolescent girls with addiction problems, which will be called Calhoun Community Services, Inc. “ According to Community Support Service, LLC, (2010), a community support service is an agency committed to providing quality family style residential services. There is a strong belief that individuals who are currently institutionalized or placed in group home settings can better benefit from a private home placement. Community Support Service is founded on the belief that a person can achieve desired goals with the assistance of support systems. At Calhoun Community Services we believe that the most compounding and influencing factors that contribute to one’s ability to establish, implement, and accomplish desired goals are rooted in the makeup of the home environment.” While many people believe that these types of programs are unnecessary, these programs are beneficial to our youth and families.…

    Both of these youth groups have helped me through difficult times and taught me to gain from my life experiences in a positive way. Through community service I was able to help others do the same. I lead the pre-school division of Vacation Bible School and during school breaks would travel to Tall Timber Camp to help prepare the camp for the summer. Without this small community I would have been helpless and alone during my parents…
