Volunteer work

I have enjoyed doing volunteer work whenever I have the chance to be apart of my community. Throughout high school I volunteered for the Saint Louise Regional Hospital at annual events like the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Gilroy Car show and the Mardi Gras in Morgan Hill. As a freshman in college in a new area volunteering is something I look forward to. I am now a volunteer at the Penguin Pantry that Dominican offers to students with food insecurities. Taking a service course my second semester of my freshman year I was unaware that I would be volunteering again. I am glad I took the course in the end because it brought me close to another community and was a great experience for me because it was my first time volunteering for a school. I did 20 hours of service learning hours throughout the semester at Bahia Vista Elementary School.

I don't have many pictures of myself volunteering but I was fortunate enough to take this photograph of one of the cars that was displayed at the Gilroy Car Show.

Service Learning:

My second semester of Freshman year I took a service learning course not knowing what it was. I'm glad I did because I was able to connect with a community that I had yet not been a part of. I did my service learning hours at Bahia Vista Elementary School every Wednesday morning. During my time there I've learned to engage with students one-on-one, and strengthen my communication skills. I believe that this will benefit me in my Business journey to communicate with clients one-on-one with no issues. My role at Bahia Vista was to assist the teacher with small activities during class time, tutor students individually, and change out their homework for the day.

Hours completed throughout the course: 20 hrs.
