Topic > I perform a kind of service: I have the opportunity to learn new ideas, discover new perspectives, and I have grown as an individual. By giving back I like to make people feel important, and in the end it gives me a good feeling because I feel like I've made a difference. I grow as a person every time I volunteer. Some people volunteer because they have to, but I do it because I want to. I love volunteering. Volunteering made me find my career plan in sociology/social work. With a degree in one of these areas, I hope to impact my community in some way. First, with the knowledge I gained in college, I hope to counsel youth and adults. In today's society there are so many negative things that affect adults and youth. I want to help them understand the importance of setting goals and striving to become great citizens. I also want to give them a sense of hope that, with perseverance, they can become great role models for other adults and youth.
