Service
It is important to give back to others because if you think about it, giving back to others is what makes the world go around. Everywhere you go, somebody is giving back in one way or another. I also find it important to give back in my own way because giving back makes me feel better about myself as a citizen. Giving back no matter how big or small can always make a difference in someone's life.
Service Learning
During the summer of my Freshmen and Sophomore year in high school, I volunteered at Valley View Hospital on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I helped out the unit called Out Patient Rehab. My work consisted of: changing sheets on beds, delivering food to employees and or patients (of Out Patient Rehab), delivering mail to the mail room, filing charts back into the filing cabinet, putting new charts together for new patients, sanitizing heavily used equipment, and doing whatever else I could do to be helpful.
