Volunteering service can teach us how to be appreciative. Far too often we tend to take things with a pinch of salt. Whether it be that we come from wonderful homes where we never had to ever wonder when our next meal was, or that we’ve had a multitude of things given to us in life. After spending time working with people of all ages and backgrounds, we may realize how lucky we really are.

I was an innocent and "over dramatic” twelve year-old who experienced…...

After working with this community, I have started to feel a closer association with the individuals that live in it. Never again am I simply existing—I am now a part of the community.
Working with Kids of All Ages and Backgrounds
Community service has taught me how to be appreciative. Far too often we tend to take things with a pinch of salt. I know that I have my fair share of times.

I definitely have been a little bit too spoiled. After spending this year working with children of all ages and backgrounds, I have realized how lucky I really am.
I have met some amazing individuals. The individuals that I have met while volunteering molded me into the person I am today. I have met others like me who like to give back to their community, and I have met people who are profiting from the work we have put in. These incredible people have a story and through volunteering, their story is shared.
