• Helped collect donations to the sick kids and homeless people

Most of my community involvements hour were spent on with helping children and the elderly. I believe that when we are younger we tend to look upon older people and want to be like them so I wanted to become that role model that children can tell there parents that they want to be just like me when they grow older. The same with the elderly, as you grow really old, you tend to act like a kid again. Looking at those in need and I know I can help them, I feel like why should i waste my energy in doing something for myself when I can do something for someone else and put a smile on there faces. The feeling of helping out someone is the best feeling, even if you don't get anything back at least you know that you made someones life better.
