My Second Hour Essay
Hour 1

Today I started my first hour of community service. I decided that I would donate some of my clothes and toys. First I had to think about where I wanted to donate too. I knew I wanted to help out kids in need, so I looked up hospitals that accepted donations. It turned out that a children’s hospital had a thrift shop as a means of getting money, so I looked into what they accepted. Then I went through everything I owned, and got my brother and sister to do the same. Then I sorted everything into three piles; clothes, toys, and things we couldn't donate. I really liked doing this, but I knew that this couldn't be that big of a time broken off of my volunteering capita.

Hour 2

It’s my second hour. I am still sorting things. This is the hour that I am mainly inspecting the items that are entered to have a chance at living out a second life. Most of the items are

This park is by First Street. I picked up a lot of trash. I did this hour of work over two days. This park is a lot smaller, as it doesn't have a baseball field or any field. There was a lot of cigarettes and some beer bottles. I don’t know who would drink at the park, but apparently some people did and then littered the bottles. It was gross picking up beer bottles but fortunately there was only like three beer bottles. I also cleaned up a lot of food wrappers. That makes sense because there is a lot of kids that go to parks, naturally.

Hour 6

Today is the day I started volunteering at Daystar. Daystar is a non-profit organization that helps the less fortunate people get back on their feet. This hour I spent writing the birthdays of the volunteers on the white board. I also sorted the pens and pencils into two separate boxes. I love working at Daystar, because I love the work that I get to do. I also like helping people out and I also love how it feels like an office job.I also like all the people at Daystar.

    In the essay” The Struggle to Be an All-American Girl” along with the short story Children as enemies, Chinese immigration into the United States is expressed in detail. In the essay “The Struggle to be an All-American Girl,” there is a young girl who comes to America and has to find her place in American society. She has to conform as she becomes older to the Chinese ways of life, which were quite different than the America. On the other hand, Children as enemies demonstrates a family who came to America because they wanted their children to grow up into American culture. The only problem presented was that their grandparents, who lived with them, did not approve at all. Both of these passages tell two different stories, but contain many similarities.…

    I woke up feeling physically, mentally exhausted from the day before, packaging meat and cleaning crates for Second Harvest Food Pantry. We sorted and pack meat. I did not think I could look at meat ever again. We then had to cleaned crates, after crates of what use to have food in them. It was a new day, and we had to return back to work. My mission group and I were going to River Food Pantry. I had no clue what to expect. I finally learned we would be serving homeless people. The only thought that crossed my mind was I would be serving dirty, lonely people, but I later found out that I was wrong.…

    Today’s society has put a confusing spin on the need for higher education. Are we, as students, looking to simply walk out of the doors of a university and into a guaranteed job opportunity, or are we forgetting what the value of an education means? It seems to me that the lines between the definition of getting a degree and getting an education are very blurry. Another factor affecting our views on education is that society has changed; the downturn of today’s economy has affected many people’s choices, especially when it comes to choosing what path they choose for their future. Employers today are changing what they value: job experience or an education. Both of these choices will contribute differently to society. Also, the high cost of going to college will have you asking yourself, is the amount of money worth it, or a better question, am I worth it? We need to ask ourselves, what are you working for? Are you working for a degree to gain employment, or are you working for an education that gives you the many tools to becoming a vital citizen? All of these factors: the loose definition of what education means, our ever-changing society, and the rising cost of tuition, has forced students to re-think their futures as possible graduates. I would argue, to better our struggling economy, we need to be working to better ourselves in the larger sense of our education.…

    It was just a cold normal winter day. But not for me, today was the day I would be organizing people to go around collecting books from my neighborhood and in the end, getting over 3,000 books. I was as excited as a little boy on Christmas. I woke up early to get all the delicious treats ready for the helpers, they would be coming over soon. I was getting nervous. This operation would be happening all from my garage. My fellow boy scouts would come excited and willing to help me out. As soon as people started arriving I maintained a calm state. I tried to stay professional and give them useful tips on how to collect the books. Overall just about 20 people came to help me out in my eagle scout project, which was a lot more than I needed as I…

    Walking into work I smell the aromas of a nursing home. I hear the sounds of wheel chairs and walkers scraping against the hard wood surface. As I walk to station one, I stop by the break room to store my food. The room is full of people charting the prior shift. Walking out of the room, I continue to station one. Finding the cork board with the neon green paper, I see what hall I am working. There is only my name and one other on spring hall. I know it is going to be a rough night; but at the end, I will remember my goal, which is helping others.…

    It was a crisp, Autumn Saturday evening at my grandparents farm, my entire extended family was packed around a bonfire roasting marshmallows and eating s 'mores. My mother was talking with her brother and sisters, my uncle and aunts, about the A+ Program, my mother mentioned that I had no idea on how I was going to get so many community service hours. My aunt said I could come help tutor her 5th grade class any days that I would like. That was a giant relief to hear because this situation had really been bothering me lately. I was also glad I wouldn 't have to waste 50 hours of my life picking up trash on the side of the highway. Instead, I will be helping kids with their education and growing relationships with them as well. I really enjoy working with children so this was a great opportunity.…

    Police Brutality has become a serious topic in today’s time being that every time you turn on the TV you see them mention another act of violence from the police and since that were in 2015, cellphone cameras are being used to capture every single second of it, so it won’t become he say, she say evidence. According to Salem Press Encyclopedia, police brutality is abuses of authority that amount to serious and divisive human rights violations involving the excessive use of force that may occur in the apprehension or retention of civilians. Police brutality has become the issue of today’s time with civilians of this country; recent examples of police brutality are Eric Garner, Freddie gray, Sean Bell and it’s sad that’s there even more incidents. Police has been advised that some shootings are unjustified and wrong but they find a loophole, finding the victim to be wrong instead of the police officer. Most of the time it has been minorities that have been the victim in these incidents, and that is why police and minority groups have been having major conflicts that effects the country. I agree with this article that police brutality is a major issue and I believe that it’s wrong and need to be put to an end.…
