One of my favorite moments of community service at Chadwick was my first CSAB event at Peace 4 Kids Pool Day. I remember feeling great about all the interactions I had with the kids and really feeling as though I made an impact. The food was great along with the numerous games and activities that really intrigued the kids. Overall, the environment was amazing, and it was a great experience. Why do you do service? I think community service activities serve as a great way to spread the resources we have to groups that don't have the same opportunities. Additionally, I have realized that service gives you the opportunity to educate yourself and others about current issues that are occurring around us. I have noticed that community service has allowed me to take on new skills and build relationships that wouldn't be available without these activities. What have you learned about yourself through service? I have learned that I value building relationships with the different people getting to hear about their multitude of backgrounds. I have also realized how impactful this work can be and how it can have a lasting effect. Besides service, what else are you involved in? Outside of school I enjoy playing water polo, watching sports, surfing, and hanging out with friends! |
