During my high school career, I
completed 250+ hours of community service. I volunteered many of those hours
working for the Partnership for a Safe
and Health Pacifica (Pacifica Partnership). I first started working with
Pacifica Partnership in September of 2007. As of May 2012, I continued to
volunteer my time again to complete Year Up’s 10 hour requirement; however, I
plan on completing more than that amount. I dedicate my time to this coalition
and act as a team leader, assisting the director in coordinating activities and
workshops that advocate for the safety of teens in Pacifica. The mission of the
coalition is “to help mobilize the community to affect change and reduce
substance use.”
At Pacifica Partnership, I worked assiduously to move the group
forward. I did whatever I can to help with the progress of our work. I
participate in discussions where a lot of planning and scheduling is involved.
Everyone shares their thoughts on how we can reach our goals. I participated in
weekly meetings and many community-wide prevention activities. I illustrated my
high school’s School Wide Outcomes in my participation in the group and
improved upon the skills as weeks went on. All the activities helped me develop
as a leader and as a person. Participation in the activities showed me how
important trust and cooperative work is in any situation. T-MAC allowed me to
gain and develop the traits necessary to be an asset in any group. In doing
those many tasks, I gained many skills. It behooved
me to give presentations and interact with people because it helped me improve
on my oral communication skills which have been a growth area for me for a long
time.
