COMMUNITY SERVICE ESSAY

Camp Casey was something I have been wanting to do since I went as a little tyke. This year I was able to make it through the rounds of interviews rather confidently. I have worked with Kids in the past and was very excited to start as a counselor. I have a never ending love for children and the optimism and positive light they bring to any situation. I chose this activity because of the passion I feel towards education and children, As a counselor my job started very early Wednesday morning where I boarded the bus with the kids from Glacier park elementary school. Right away I was eager to start talking with the kids and trying to get them involved with the different songs we sang on the bus. They were easy to talk to and very bright about the whole experience. Having my girls act so kind allowed me to recreate the entire experience for myself, to replace painful memories with joyful ones. I spent the three days guiding my girls around the camp, we had different classes to attend each day. It was my job to make sure we showed up everywhere not only on time but ten minutes early. The entire time I wore my biggest smile and sang my very loudest. I was honestly blessed with well behaved, kind girls, they all got along and helped one another. It was fun more than anything to goof …show more content…

Back when I was in fifth grade I was extremely excited to go away to camp, however the counselor I was assigned to could care less about me. The entire experience was a huge disappointment, the counselor let me get bullied by the other girls in our group. It was my goal to make this an incredible experience for the girls. Through the three days I reminded each one how beautiful strong and smart they are, it was my hopes to boost their confidence. I went over the top with singing and laughing and carrying the girls around. I wanted them to remember me, and remember the fun they

I volunteered here all throughout high school and some of the kids were very close in age to me. I found myself not always being respected for this reason.

    When I was just a brownie, Girl Scouts was mostly about getting the prettiest patches for my sash and selling the most boxes of cookies, but over the years it has evolved into a much more meaningful activity. At the end of middle school and the start of high school, we did events such as preparing and serving meals at the Branford soup kitchen and organizing crafts for visits to the Ronald McDonald house in New Haven. Both of these events have greatly broadened my understanding of service to the community. While doing fundraisers or various drives are of unparalleled importance, literally interacting with the people my service is aimed to help allowed me to understand how donating a small fraction of time can be a way to try and better someone else’s day. Our troop has also been involved in other projects like fundraising for the local foundation Hope For Raptors, a group dedicated to protecting native birds and educating the community about them.
