Semester Essay #9

   Prompt: Many people volunteer their time to help others, either through non-profit organizations, churches, or other charitable venues. Write an essay convincing reader to find charity and volunteers their time.
Many of us have so much free time that we just let it go to waste! I don’t think should be doing that. In my opinion we should all help our society to make it a better place. For example don’t you ever get that pleasant, warm funny feeling in you when you do something kind for someone else? If you answered yes then volunteering is certainly something to look into. This is not the only way to help others but, also a way to better progress your own life. Volunteering for any type of charity or foundations presents many benefits.
Volunteering is a great way to discover your career options. Some of the best recommendation I can give is to volunteer for something you are fascinated in. If you are interested in being an educator then volunteer to be a tutor, if you are interested in the law enforcement then volunteer at a police station, if  you interested in a day care than volunteer in a charity that deals with children. The list goes on and on. Maybe doing some type of volunteering can help you find out what you want to be the rest of your life. Who knows you might even get the chance to find the passion for a specific area and if you have the chance to work in something you have a passion for then you have hit the jackpot.
A good reason for volunteering can be summed up in one word, recompense. Sometimes when you decide to volunteer for others at times you can make change in people lives. It is a means of making a difference. When that is achieved a sense of achievement surrounds you. Your confidence is elevated. If you ever have the ability to help others out, then why not do it? As a volunteer for the program Explores I can vouch on behalf of the previous statements. Quickly summarized, explorers is a volunteer program that helps teenagers that the world isn’t a game and it can take in too many different roads if you don’t do good in you school, with family and other important things. The Explore program serves as a Jr. Cop and having mentors or advisors to guide to what right and wrong. Spending time with my mentors or advisors gives me a sense of fulfillment. A sense of “it’s worth it” accompanies the act of volunteering.
If you can imagine yourself in the future then you are most likely to be making money in your future more than likely you also see yourself working. Volunteering is a great way to get work experience. When you decide to volunteer for a charity you agree to make a commitment and to give it your dedication. The same will apply for any job you take; you must commit and you must make the time.  Volunteering will teach you responsibility and time management; two very important examples for doing well the rest of your life.
You can pretty much there is organization or charity programs for almost everything. You should have the option to choose one you like and start volunteering. It is as easy as that. If you have the ability to volunteer take the opportunity and don’t deny all those in need of your skills. Volunteering is a great way to do something with your life and teach yourself lessons. Volunteering is above all a very gratifying experience that I believe everyone should have the advantage of encountering. Be positive and volunteer at a charity at any second of time today!
