Jacob Hiatt Magnet School

Decent Essays
I am helping out at the Jacob Hiatt Magnet School in a 4th grade class. Every week for 2 hours I am able to help students with their classroom activities. At the beginning, I use to just go around in class and help the students when they need help. Now, the teacher has me take the one or two students who are struggling and sit outside with them to help them catch up. This helps them to be able to be on the same page as everyone else and it makes it easier for the teacher as well because it gets really hard for one teacher to be able to keep everyone at the same page and finish the course material on time. Working at this school has been a great experience for me because I have always wanted to help people. It feels great when I am able to help

It is also so rewarding when seeing how truly grateful the organization is for each and every volunteer. The best benefit to me is meeting all of the extraordinary men and women who have been affected by breast cancer. Thousands of people die each year from this disease and being able to help make a difference for finding the cure is one of the best feelings. Their stories are of course heartbreaking but also admirable because they don’t give up.…

    This summer, I worked as a JCIT at the BSAFE summer program. BSAFE is a summer program for kids from kindergarten to 5th grade, where they are taught school subjects and go on a field trip every day. A JCIT is a junior counselor-in-training, so my job was to assist the leader with the kids and clean and prepare activities for them. JCITs are closer in age to the kids, so they usually confided in us with their questions and concerns. Being a JCIT helped me gain a lot of patience and allowed me to learn to help with things even when I'm not directly asked to do so.…

    The Corporation of National Community Service found statistically that volunteering and being involved in the local government can give a job candidate 27% higher odds of finding a job rather than someone who does not volunteer. When I finish high school my many community service achievements will help my odds of getting a job because I have met my civic responsibilities. I have met my civic responsibilities by going to school board meetings, babysitting for the parents of the Parent Teacher Organization and working the PTO Fun Run, as well as during holiday season helping Toys for Tots and Salvation Army for the last 2 years. I have learned that even the small things make a difference. The importance of attending school board meetings…
