ore Than Just Money Students volunteer their time for self-satisfaction The main purpose of working for most students was ttie money. For some tliougti I volunteer because I love being around people and clieering them up. It makes me feel good about myself knowing I am a friend and can make people smile. the only pay was the experi- ence and satisfaction gained from accomplishing a task. Volunteer work helped students get famil- iar with a certain career area or for others volunteer services was work they real- ly enjoy. Many students from Mew Haven High School did vol- unteer work throughout the community. One such ser- vice was candystriping. The girls candystripe one night a week at Parkview Hospi- tal. Their job consisted of delivering flowers, running errands for nurses, talking to and feeding patients, or working in the gift shop. I ' ve wanted to be a nurse for a long time and 1 found out 1 could get expe- rience by candystriping, stated Amy Thompson. Another area outside of school Mike Thena took part in was at the Franke Park Day Camp. Mike Vol- unteered every day during the summer teaching chil- dren the ways of the woods and how to live as the Indi- ans did. ' Once 1 started this pro- gram and found out how in- teresting it is to see chil- dren react to the things they learn, 1 find it hard to quit, Mike Thena com- mented. Senior Jim Conner volun- teered for the Fort Wayne Student Police Department. Conner went to meetings every Thursday night to learn about police work. During the summer he helped direct traffic and crowds at such events as Three Rivers Festival, Fourth of July Fireworks, parades and other traffic re- lated events. like volunteering be- cause I am getting a lot of police experience and train- ing that will help me in my law enforcement career, Jim Conner stated. Making career and life de- cisions, making people happy and gaining self-sat- isfaction were only a few of the reasons for volunteer- ing. Many new Haven stu- dents found that giving time without gaining material benefits was just as reward- ing as a pay check every week. .
