I am strongly committed to community service, I feel as though that through voluntary work I have learned the importance of giving or sharing, working hard and appreciating what God has given us.
I was introduced to community outreach service when I transferred to Phillipsburg High School, NJ in 2007. The township itself is big on given back to the community. As a Junior in High Schoo, I joined various organizations such as the Interact Club, a community service based club and the Step Dance Team, a dance team. What both had in common was their dedication to community service.
In the past, I volunteered for Special Olympic, a non profit organization for the disadvantage citizens, where I assisted in the setup and during the game.
I have done the AIDS Walk in Philly for the past two years, and in the fall 2010 I had the pleasure and honor to be named team captain. As the team captain I motivated my team "The KnockOWTS" to raise $200 in a matter of two weeks. More importantly, we had a great time doing the walk as it brought as closer together and support a great cause.
