habitat for humanity

Many people suffer from homelessness all over the world. Ever since I was a young girl I contributed in the making of new houses for people in their time of need with the organization Habitat for Humanity. When I came to college I decided to continue my efforts and join the Habitat for Humanity on campus. Habitat for Humanity is a great cause, but it would not be possible without active volunteers. Volunteers are the root for this cause. We certainly have enough volunteers to have their houses worked on, but improvement is needed in the volunteers who help change someone's life. This can only happen if people come forward and volunteer their time to the needs of others. In order to make this happen I will begin by making pamplets and colorful fliers to grab attention. I will be targeting the college students of the University of Southern Indiana. In my brochures I will use personal expierences from people who have recieved the habitat for humanity help and of the volunteers who have volunteered their time in order to better the lives of others. I have also been thinking about making a short video to display in order to recruit more volunteers. In order to show others how important it is to volunteer and what it all entails I will be volunteering my own time. Along side others from the USI campus, I plan to help build and reconstruct for the sake of anothers well being. I then will participate in public sphere day(on the USI campus); displaying my pamphlets and fliers along with recruiting members for this wonderful cause. These are just a few things I will be doing to bring more volunteers in this great society.

Public discourse

In everyday life, many are faced with decisions on whether or not to stand up and state their opinion or just to sit back and let others take the lead. I have also been faced with many of these decisions. A major one that I have been a part of is a teachers rally in order to get the teachers a raise and to get them a contract. I have also been involved in conversations about political issues and have brought my point to the table. I am very opionated, therefor normally I have brought my opionions into many topics. I had the opportunity to sign a petition to let smokers go out during basketball games in high school but I did not sign it because I did not believe in it. I was very against it.
