President’s volunteer service awards
I was honored to receive the President's Volunteer Service Award for completing over 100 hours of community service with KAGC(Korea corner) and MYO (mission community service). Through this experience, I worked on tutoring underserved students, organizing food drives, or volunteering at a local shelter, which allowed me to develop leadership and empathy. This experience deepened my passion for education, social justice, healthcare and reinforced my commitment to serving others. I look forward to continuing my volunteer work in college.
