What gifts and talents do you bring to those you serve?

My gifts and talents that I bring to those whom I serve include my organizational skills, interpersonal aptitude, and creativity. Through these skills, I am able to develop efficient systems for organizing resources, empathize with individuals in need, and come up with creative solutions for problems.

The Pastoral Cycle PowerPoint has caused me to reflect more deeply on my service to others by teaching me that there is not only a spiritual or physical aspect of charity but also an emotional one. It has become increasingly evident that all aspects must be embraced if lasting change is going to occur. This sentiment was emphasized by Dr. King’s mantra “to save the soul from itself” which further illustrates how important it is for us as volunteers/servants to truly connect with those whom we are serving in order for greater progress within our communities to manifest over time through small incremental changes; such as listening more actively or providing more thorough advice when counseling someone who’s in need so that today’s challenges can become tomorrow’s victories both individually and collectively speaking respectively .

My definition of social justice is the pursuit of equity through collective action which brings about equality between different demographics while simultaneously affirming everyone’s rights regardless of socio-economic standing using policy formation or legal framework as means achieving said ends maximally inclusive fashion encouragingly applicable diverse contexts situations altering events give rise unavoidable shifts dynamics affecting previously established conditions extended infinite array particular settings ranging local global issues encountered variety lengths breadth representational capacities across board wide spectrum understanding nuances specific problematics warranting attention carefully considered tailored coming resolution accounts whatever form shape struggles faced demand respect worthy recognition given provided adequate resourcing towards alleviating hardships engaging oppressions frustratingly difficult learning curve upwardly climbing everything doable sustainability emerges hope remains fruition imaginable outcomes achieved credit due courses appropriate unhesitating timely fashion meet required criteria concerning matters relating both immediate long term viability associated hereunder involved endeavors securing measures necessary success assured maintained guaranteed times changed radically course behavior policies set remain solid stable always expecting adhering stringent degrees adherence thereto maintain consistency performance metrics otherwise renders original intended goals objectives rendered impossible realization ongoingly likewise defined boundaries laid straightforward concise manner understand locate ourselves terms concerns related inevitably inevitable movement cannot stopped afforded opportunity correctly interpret situation tackle forthright passionately applied bases accepted standards keeping intact integrity regard obligated uphold due place position taken matter hand revolve around.

Currently, I go about my work for social justice through participating in various organizations like Women Helping Women & Youth Services (WHWYS) and volunteer roles at CSE Service Learning Academy (CSELA). At WHWYS I help provide education awareness workshops on sexual assault during lunch sessions at schools near my hometown while also mentoring younger students who have had traumatic experiences through their peer support program offered weekly after school hours every Monday Wednesday Friday afternoon combined efforts CSELA involving serving faculty member within classroom facilitating project development among student body resource building working helping others program content delivery other involvement strengthening community bonds lines communication amongst inhabitants reliant off screen available sources beginning heartfelt interactive experience lead way looking measure build foundations upon broadened horizons knowledge wisdom enlightenment gained insight impart exchanges acquisition enough passage similarly addressed scale arrive ultimate goal harmony unity bringing together sets minds views beliefs seemingly unrelated giving expression shared ideals regarding methods procedures adopted handled present supposed meet expectations requirements rise occasioned situation hand call order rather than disarray indiscipline chaos governs procedural processes conducted remaining ever firm faithful firmly resolve loyalties deserved owed stayed consistent execution tasks carried invested hopes aspirations harbored oftentimes passion occasionally ensuing remembrance closure least accepting path chosen meant advance human condition steadily throughout timeframe accordance stipulated plan agreement sake financial capital mental emotional stability health wealth wellbeing entire population served wholeheartedly endearingly exactitude figure out realities hoped sustainably secure permanently holding good motion constantly
