What organization do you intend to intern at this semester: ______Homeless____________________
1. How do you envision the population in the community that we will be serving? Please elaborate on your fears, concerns, prior experiences, expectations, and perceived challenges.
When I chose this class, I want to get some social experience, it will help me more absorbing to my resume, and also I want to learn about what is American life style and work. I hope I can know more about this country. But I was an international student, I have disadvantage in many ways. For example, I cannot talk with them very well, like native students, also, I am not knowing about the American social. But the internship is very expectations for me, I think it will be a memorable experience.
2. How do you think working with people from diverse populations will affect your experience?
No, I think it will not influence me, I think it is good way to work with others. Firstly, when we work with together, we can help each other when they need to help. Secondly, if we work together, I can learn some aspects which I am not doing best. Then we can talk and share our thoughts and opinions in a thing. We can get some different knowledge and experience.
3. What do you currently know about community issues facing the population that you would like to work with this semester? Include how you know this information.
In fact, I have nothing to know about the community issues that I will face. I think the biggest issues for me, that is how can I talk with them easily and happily.
4. What are you currently doing to be civically engaged in your community? List and describe your activities. Then, discuss how your actions affect you as an individual and the community as a whole.
5. Do you think that all people in the United States have the same rights and opportunities? Why or why not?
I think it is impossible for same rights and opportunities. For example, the families who are in the top of the United States, their children will get more opportunities in many ways. They can easy go to a top school and high-salaries job. That is uneasy to common. And about the rights, I think it is same right in laws book. But it is not in our life, I can find people who discriminate black people.
6. Describe and discuss your goals for this class in each of the following areas (Reminder: Your response in each section must meet the word count range described above.):
a. Personal goals –
b. Career goals –
c. Academic goals (include how your service experience will relate to your program of study) –
d. What do you hope to learn/gain by participating?
1. For my personal goals, I want to learn more about the American social community. As an international student, it is not same with native students, I cannot easy to know about these ways. And I hope I can get some knowledge that I cannot study in the college. That is good experience and memory in my life when I think back to my college life. I can make more friends, and learn some life experience. If I has seen a great deal of life, I can more easy to do something what I want to do, and I can more easy to success. And I think a qualified high school student, we need to have good academic grade, and also we need to good working ability.
