Accomplishments
I love helping out the community and doing community service. In fact, I graduated from my high school with 1,101 community service hours. And that’s just what was registered. Some of the things I’ve done are shoveling fire hydrants in the winter, volunteering with theater groups, and working in cemeteries. I’m trained in headstone restoration, and have spent hundreds of hours repairing headstones that have been lost and broken over the years. At college, I’ve spent time in the common rooms decorating for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day, including hanging lights and lining railings with garlands.
