Giving Back

Honestly, I feel so great when I help people and give back to my community. Today I volunteered at the walk to end Alzheimer's and it felt amazing to help out. This year I am trying to get more involved in my school and my community. I feel more happy when I go out and do volunteer work especially now since I do not hang around people who used to always bring me down.

I joined Key Club and I just got into Beta Club which I am so estatic about because not everyone is chosen and Beta club is all about character, leadership, and helping others. Those clubs are very involved in the community which I need because it makes me feel better when I am helping someone.

Today while I was handing out flowers at the walk it made me smile when one of the guys who came to support the cause said getting the flower made his day. Just that one comment made my day because I made a small impact in someone's life.

Smiling to a stranger could save their life and I want to be the one who sends that smile.
