What I might serve as a good I-search topic would be working outside with the wildlife. I love working outside and being able to explore the wilderness, and seeing new things. This would be a good I-search paper because there is so much to explore and to see. I could volunteer at Fernwood for my service work.

Last night my little sister came into my room and talked to me about bullying in her school. I came to the conclusion that researching bullying in elementary schools would be a good service project. I just want to stop bullying in elementary schools because it is suppose to be fun, and I want them to remember the good times not the bad. I could volunteer at elementary schools for my community service.

Because of living on the school farm and having such a love for agriculture, I would like to do my topic on why more women aren't more into agriculture and FFA and things like that.

Every summer I volunteer at a Christian camp in Niles. To me, I find it highly important for those kids that attend, become closer to God. A good paper for me to write would obviously be about religion, and how I serve my community and others through God. Being there every summer as jr. Faculty and as a camper is my service project.

I'm not yet sure about where to serve as of yet. There are many things that interest me between art and animals. I'm not sure. But I feel that for my I-search paper it would be something along the animals and who knows I might just serve my time up at the Animal Shelter working with the animals.

I don't exactly know where I would want to serve yet... I love helping animals, so maybe I'll start with that. Maybe I'll go to the closest animal shelter, and volunteer. I would love to help the animals. I grew up with cats, dogs and more, so that's why I love them.

I realize more than most people that there are so many people out there less fortunate than ourselves. And I genuinely sympathize for these people. For my I-search topic I may decide to do something along the lines of volunteering at a senior center because there are seniors there who have no family and would love nothing more than to have some company and companionship.

I believe music would be a great interest for my I-search. The subject is broad and has many elements put into it. For example. It can heal people emotionally, it can make people laugh, it can make people sad, it can bring people together, it can motivate you. Music is a really powerful element of life. Idk if I have to include this but I could help out at my music school or something. Maybe offer some really simple "music lessons" at school.

Ever since freshman year I've been loving bio and then anatomy. I have decided to go into the medical field because I want to help people and now being in PHCA I have been given volunteer opportunities at the hospital. Even if it is just going in and sitting with someone to give them company I think I would enjoy that. It would be cool to research the impact of people just helping patients while they are most likely in a struggling situation at the hospital.

Ever since the the early years of my childhood, sports, especially soccer and football, have been a huge part of my life. As I have grown, I've been given the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the the games that I love. As a current player and hopefully a future coach, I think it would be a great idea to help kids learn about the sports that I have loved. This would include helping with sports camps or even help assistant coaching to kids in the community.
