PLEASE HELP The Importance of Volunteering
Mauri Rapp

1Today’s high school students lead hectic lives. Between classes, extracurricular activities, and part-time jobs, many teens have little free time. Although most students would prefer to spend their downtime hanging out with friends, it’s important for students to incorporate volunteering into their schedules. Volunteering is a wonderful way to make new acquaintances while learning about civic duty and pride. Volunteering can also help you stand out among the thousands of other anonymous students applying to college. In addition, it’s extremely gratifying to know that you’re making a difference.

2One major benefit of volunteering is social interaction. Volunteering affords you the opportunity to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds. These people may become your lifelong friends. You’ll also learn how to collaborate with new people to reach a common goal. Meeting new people is a great way to expand your interests. New friends can introduce you to exciting hobbies and teach you new skills. Volunteering also helps introverted students develop confidence and self-esteem. There’s no reason to agonize over meeting other volunteers. You’ll soon discover that volunteer organizations are extremely inclusive. This can alleviate any fears you might have about not fitting in with the group.

3Volunteering also shows students what it takes to keep a community operating smoothly. Participating in roadside cleanups or planting trees around town will help you realize the enormous amount of effort it takes to keep a city sparkling. Becoming a junior councilperson and attending town meetings will enhance your understanding of the dilemmas that preoccupy your municipal leaders. Volunteering at local preschools or senior centers teaches you compassion while showing you how people in the community care for one another. Volunteering can also help you with your career aspirations. It may even “inspire you” to become a civic leader.

4Volunteering is also a phenomenal addition to your college applications. It gives you an advantage over other students who didn’t volunteer in high school. A record of volunteerism shows prospective colleges that you’re an accomplished individual with many interests. Volunteering also tells admissions counselors that you’re active in your community, meaning that you’ll likely participate in campus activities, school fundraisers, and other university programs. Counselors often select students who take pride in their community because they know these students will demonstrate the same pride for their school.

5Although volunteering might seem strenuous, it doesn’t have to be! Make volunteering less laborious by joining a program that complements your interests. If you love animals, consider donating your time to a local shelter. Students who adore reading might volunteer for story hour at the neighborhood library. Athletes can offer to coach little league teams or referee scrimmages. If there isn’t a volunteer program that suits your interests, establish one yourself. Not only will you be helping your community, but you’ll also gain leadership experience. Remember, volunteering isn’t just about helping others—it’s an invaluable experience that teaches you about yourself!

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbados—an island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaica—and these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.
