Volunteer!

Have you ever tried to do something in your life that has made you proud of yourself? Volunteering is a great thing to do and will always be something that you will remember. Being a volunteer, allows you to experience a lot of different things in the world. There are many places and things to volunteer for.

A place you can volunteer for can be something that you want to do when you become older. If you want to become an elementary teacher, you can volunteer at an elementary school and see what it is like. Volunteering in a category that you are interested in doing later on in life can help you decide if it is really what you want to do. If you volunteer at an elementary school and realize that it is a too young of age to teach at then you know you need to move on to higher grades such as middle school or high school. By volunteering at an elementary school during high school you already know what you liked and didn’t like about elementary students and can change what you want for college. Instead of being an elementary teacher you can be a middle school teacher.

Volunteering in a category that you want to be when you grow up is something very intelligent to do. This will help you decide on a lot of things when figuring out college courses. I know that I am always told by my parents to volunteer. You can volunteer just for fun also. If you are not involved in a lot of activities out of school then you should definitely try to volunteer somewhere.

College applications are also something that you should start to be thinking about. If you don’t have many things to put on your college application, then you should try very hard to volunteer someplace. Colleges always want to see students who have volunteered somewhere. I know one popular place to volunteer is the hospital. The hospital gives a ton of opportunities for young adults to volunteer. There is lot of different units you are allowed to volunteer in which is very helpful having a variety to choose from.

If I were to volunteer in a hospital I would choose to volunteer with the new born babies. I love to hold babies and I think it would be a blast to see what it is like when a baby is just born. You get to see how the family reacts with a new born and get to be involved in helping the parents with their newest child.
