...What is the YMCA? The Y is made up of all ages from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. The YMCA’s motto is that they work to insure everyone, regardless of gender, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background, has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. They share the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. In this paper you will learn a lot about the YMCA’s history, its founder, and some of the activities. George Williams founded the YMCA in 1844. In 1844 twenty-two-year-old George Williams joined 11 friends to organize the first Young Men’s Association (YMCA), a refuge of Bible study and prayer for young men seeking escape from life on the streets. The Y offered something unique for its time. The organization’s drive to meet social need in the community was compelling. And its welcoming to members crossed rigid lines separating English social classes. Thomas Valentine Sullivan led the formation of the first U.S. YMCA at the Old South Church in Boston on December 29, 1851. The first “student YMCA” was started in 1856 at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. Dedicated to the leadership development of college students, student Y’s remaining active on the campuses of major universities such as the University of Illinois. In 1853, the first YMCA for blacks was founded by Anthony Bowen, a freed slave, in Washington, D.C. YMCA housing began in the 1860s to give young men moving to cities from rural areas safe...

...Attending Rock Haven is one of the biggest experiences I have in my life. The next would have to be when my mom got married again to the love of her life to someone who treats her right which is something that the girls were taught to look for in a guy. Also not to go for looks, go for personality. Rock Haven is full of good volunteer workers that all follow God and praise him everyday of their lives. They all are very good influences. They women showed me how to wait on getting married and other things that fall under that category. I really enjoyed the team bonding games we did. We had gaga ball tournaments, played nine square, basketball, and mountain ball.They had a pool and during swim time we would go swim if we chose to, or we could stay and play games with the boys. We did many games as teams and had a point system. At the end of the week of camp they would declare the winner. You don’t exactly get anything but the camp directors make it this way so that each team pushes themselves by memorizing verses of the bible and saying them to get...

...a pool is that it will bring the students as one. It will need to be maintained and students can volunteer. Students can use the as an opportunity to get to know one another. Students will develop new ways to get more students involved with the pool to help them out as a community. The swimming pool will intend to help students outside of schools hours and help the community around HCC. Second reason HCC should have a pool is the students will independently use it for lessons on swimming and help with their school work. Swimming lessons can bring the students confidence and guidance on how to swim. Another way the students can use the water to experiments with their projects from school. Also the lessons can help them from drowning and help build their stamina up. The lessons will help the students with their swimming and school work. Last reason to build a swimming pool at HCC is keeping the students active. Swimming is a vital exercise for conditioning and strength. A way it is helping is keeping the immune system stronger and active. Also staying active and getting in shape will help in other ways such as lifting and running. Having a swimming pool will gradually help you in becoming healthier and stronger. As for HCC goes they should build a pool for the students to help them further. A pool would be great way to bring the students together. The pool will help with team building and getting to know a fellow student. Also it would help the physical body to get...

...Case Studies – Week 10 Case 1: PHILANTHROPIC TEAM BUILDING The top dozen executives from Adolph Coors and Molson breweries wanted to accelerate their team development to kick off the post-‐merger integration of the two companies. But rather than doing the usual team building in the woods or at a friendly game of golf, the Molson Coors leaders spent a full day helping to build a house for Habitat for Humanity. “We quickly got past the idea of a ropes course or golf outing,” recalls Samuel D. Walker, Molson Coors' chief legal officer. “We really wanted something where we would give back to one of the communities where we do business.” According to Walker, the volunteering experience exceeded everyone's expectations. “We had to unload this truck full of cement roof tiles. We actually had to figure out how to have kind of a bucket line, handing these very heavy...

...Scouts, my passion Introduction: Hi good evening, I’m not here to reveal any groundbreaking research, or tell you a way to save the climate, I haven’t swam from Cuba to Florida or invented a camera that takes pictures faster than light. I’m just a scout, a scout in a uniform, and what I am going to tell you is some information of the world´s most biggest youth organization, why millions of people around the world voluntary wear a uniform like this and meet up across age, and beliefs to do scouting. Thesis statement: Have you ever wondered if we have Scouts in Mexico? Do you even know what Scouts is? What comes into your mind when you think about Scouts?... Most of what we know of Scouts has been told by the media, but that’s really not what we are part of. Scouts is the world´s biggest youth organization, with more than 40 million members in 155 countries all over the world. How can such a big organization ensure that all members have the same values and principles? I’m going to talk about three main points, what´s Scouts? How do we work? And what do you learn in Scouting? Paragraph 1: What’s Scouts? * History: Scouting was founded by the English military Lord Baden Powell (B.P.) in 1907. BP realized that young people had huge potential that was often left untapped. He was thinking of developing a training program for young people in Britain. In 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island to try out his ideas and brought together 20 boys from a variety...

Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to get a job done. Sample excellent response: Although I had already punched out, I stayed behind to help a colleague solve a problem. A customer was very angry as he had waited very long for his coffee. My colleague was new, she was quite slow. I came out and explained things to the customer. Although he was very angry at first, I just listened to him and told him that we try to bring our best out to each customer who walks in to our store. After a one-hour discussion, he left with a happy face and was satisfied. 61.

...Can the Bacteria in Your Gut Explain Your Mood? The rich array of microbiota in our intestines can tell us more than you might think. By PETER ANDREY SMITHJUNE 23, 2015 Eighteen vials were rocking back and forth on a squeaky mechanical device the shape of a butcher scale, and Mark Lyte was beside himself with excitement. ‘‘We actually got some fresh yesterday — freshly frozen,’’ Lyte said to a lab technician. Each vial contained a tiny nugget of monkey feces that were collected at the Harlow primate lab near Madison, Wis., the day before and shipped to Lyte’s lab on the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center campus in Abilene, Tex. Lyte’s interest was not in the feces per se but in the hidden form of life they harbor. The digestive tube of a monkey, like that of all vertebrates, contains vast quantities of what biologists call gut microbiota. The genetic material of these trillions of microbes, as well as others living elsewhere in and on the body, is collectively known as the microbiome. Taken together, these bacteria can weigh as much as six pounds, and they make up a sort of organ whose functions have only begun to reveal themselves to science. Lyte has spent his career trying to prove that gut microbes communicate with the nervous system using some of the same neurochemicals that relay messages in the brain. Inside a closet-size room at his lab that afternoon, Lyte hunched over to inspect the vials, whose samples had been spun down in a centrifuge to a radiant...
