Volunteering Experience
Special Olympics: Special Olympics is one of the nation's largest organizations created in order to allow individuals of all ages with mental and physical disabilities to compete with one another. I participated in two events, ice skating and volleyball, in order to benefit the competition experience of the participants and myself. I lend a hand to the staff by putting up direction signs, setting up tables, handing out medals, and cheering on the athletes. Through this experience, I was able to get an understanding of the daily hardships faced by those who are impaired, urging myself to assist these individuals in the future.
Hope's Door: Hope's Door is a domestic violence and counseling shelter designed to assist those exposed to violence in a home environment. I was able to take care of the children of women during counseling, aid individuals in the temporary home, and put together/give away donation items. Through this experience, I was inspired to help others in a different aspect.
Cancer Fundraising Walks/Events: In order to raise awareness and money for a positive, health-related cause, organizations and foundations put together entertaining events to serve these purposes and reach a desired goal. Personally, I have participated in Relay for Life, Making Strides for Breast Cancer, and Alzheimer's Walk
Shadowing at H&S Pharmacy: To prepare myself for my potential profession in the field of Pharmacy, I chose to volunteer for an independent-branch pharmacy to get a feel of the environment and work-schedule. I was able to get a vision of my future job while assisting with the organization process of the medications.

On the other hand, it didn't grasp my full attention. It seemed boring at some parts during the film.
