Volunteering/community service, singing/songwriting, and cooking

I began volunteering in summer 2022 but took a hiatus when I had to return back to college to finish undergrad. I recently started investing my time in community service again while I'm in the process of looking for a new job. I realized that I absolutely love volunteering because I love being a pillar to my community. If I'm able to be a resource or provide the resources to better the community, then that's a role I embrace with open arms because of its contribution to my character development. As far as singing, songwriting, and cooking, those are constructive mechanisms I resort to when it comes to expressing my thoughts/feelings and I'm able to channel my emotions in a productive, creative way. I absolutely love to sing, and it's a craft that I took seriously by singing in the church choir and school choir growing up!
