My volunteer experience has always involved helping people. I enjoy helping others especially our older generation. I gain a great deal of understanding and self gratification when I spend time with the senior citizens in the Battle Creek area. This is why I look forward to eventually getting into the nursing program at Kellogg Community College.
My volunteer experience includes the following:
Lawn care Snow removal Helping clean out garages and getting unused things out of their way Taking care of their pets such as walking them or playing with their animals\ Assisting in moving things that need to be put somewhere else Playing cards and other board games
My favorite part of my volunteer experience though has been just taking the time to listen and visit with the senior citizens that have touched my life in so many ways. I have gained friendships by just taking the time to understand and make our older generation feel valued and needed.

Work Experience
I have had two different jobs in my life. One of them was when I worked at full blast in Battle Creek, Michigan. What I did there was I basically just made sure people were following the rules of the water park and helping them if they need assistance. My second job was being a Park Ranger at Goguac Lake. What I did there was made sure that the park was clean and then I helped people out when they needed it.
Learning styles
The best way for me to learn is hands on learning.
