A Reflection of My Volunteering Experiences to Help My Own Community

Freshmen year, I started volunteering after I joined the multicultural club at my school. I found out what volunteering was through the club. I had been in the U.S. for just four years at the time therefore I wasn’t familiar with many things. Although it was mandatory to volunteer in concession stands, I wanted to be a part of it because it was a way for me to giving back. Once I put together a talent show and played my role as a judge.

I helped out in the school’s concession stand while I was in my soccer team too.

Furthermore, I volunteered outside of school at the Ethiopian Student Association at the University of Minnesota, Feed My Starving Children and Books for Africa. I learned the true meaning of volunteering at Feed my Starving because packing food to be sent overseas was heartfelt and something I will always remember. I get involved because using my time to do something that helps people in some way is very important to me.

Volunteering has given me opportunities to learn from different people and gives me chance to learn more about what’s going on in my community.
