Be One With Your Community

It's very important for one to integrate themselves into ones community. It allows you to have a voice and a say in decisions that you may be passionate about. If your community holds events or meetings, you should attend them to get yourself recongnized. Make yourself known in a positive way at these events because it will build your character.Mingle with people and wided your social circle. Make connections with people who you thought you'd never speak to. This year I began to volunteer more in my community. I tutor kids with someone who I've grown very close to. I consider her as one of my mentors and as my new found best friend! I have also handed out food on East Hastings many times with my family and some family friends. Interacting with the people whom I was giving food to really inspired me. I am inspired to hear more of their stories and I am inspired by how so many of them changed my life. This coming Summer I am excited to announce that I will be volunteering at the SPCA. I love animals and I think that volunteering for the SPCA will be really good for me. I have learned that with each movement I make in helping someone else, in exchange I am helping myself.
