Since the summer going into 9th grade, I have volunteered at the ------, a local retirement home. Throughout my four years, I have been volunteering extensively over my summer vacations and throughout the school year. As I have attained more experience at the ------, I have subsequently taken on many more responsibilities and matured as both a volunteer and a human being. During my first year, I was mainly responsibly for simple, but helpful tasks such as transporting residents to activities, passing out mail, and relaying messages to residents. However, as I have pursued my volunteer work, the staff has begun to view me more as a fellow staff member than as an intermittent volunteer. Since then, I have run activities on my own with the hundreds of residents – ranging from political discussion groups to memory games to fundraisers. As unimportant as these responsibilities might seem, I’ve taken pride in each responsibility that I’ve taken on. Working with the residents, many who have mental illnesses, has taught me such patience, commitment, and compassion for others that has carried over into my own life in school, and with my family and friends.</p>
<p>PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know what you think!</p>
