Affiliations

  • I volunteered 149 hours of community service at various preschool centers, where I contributed to early childhood education. Through this experience, I created a digital story about my community service work with the children, which won a scholarship that helped cover a full year of my community college education. I believe that community service builds character and instills a sense of hope, as it allows you to make a meaningful difference in others' lives. Link to Digital Story: https://youtu.be/gwJXQtStRd8
