Undergraduate / Georgetown University essay - discuss extracurricular activity that you are most involved in [7]

The most significant activity I was involved in would be my work in foster care for Pets in Distress. Over the summer, I spent weeks fostering a Rat Terrier named Willard. Willard was a great dog with a lot of energy, sometimes too much energy. He would often jump around the house and chew things such as clothes, including my Alabama Crimson Tide hat. However, I loved fostering Willard because not only was he a very lovable dog, but it gave me the chance to give an animal in need a home and a family.

The one thing I love to do in life is to help people out. This determination of mine goes for animals as well because, to me, animals, especially dogs, are almost like humans. I knew since I was a little kid that I when I grew up, I wanted to work in the CIA, and not only help the agency but Americans nationwide. So when I decided I wanted to do some community service, it was an easy choice to do something where I can help someone out, whether it is a specific person, animals, or a group/agency. I eventually found out about Pets in Distress and decided to foster Willard.

Willard was not an easy task. I had to make sure he had food, water, exercise, and overall make sure he was happy. However it was a very enjoyable task for me, so much that it almost was not even work. It was especially fun playing ball with him because of how determined he was to get the ball. Overall, I learned a lot through this experience. One major thing I learned is that no matter what kind of community service you do, you can always make a significant difference in the world. With that being said, this experience showed me how important it is for everyone to get involved in community service, at least a few times in their life.
