A big part of both my college application and my professional experience is volunteer work. I have done a number of volunteer positions in order to amount more than a hundred hours of volunteer work. This was primarily because this was the number that most colleges expected of top applicants. However I did end up enjoying some of the activities.
The most most extensive form of hours that I accumulated was with an organization called Master Your Sports. I volunteered as a basketball coach of a youth team. I ended up accumulating most of my hours with them because I enjoyed it the first summer that I did it. While my team was not very good, we didn’t win a game, I enjoyed the tactical parts of the job.
My other volunteer endeavors where mostly to supplement my work with youth basketball. During high school I spent time working with my middle school as a volunteer during numerous events. I also worked as poll worker on election day. Following my trend of youth sports I also volunteered with the San Diego Youth Lacrosse Festival.
