In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer
"Why are you still doing community Service? You know you don't have to, right?" my friend said looking at me perplexed. Of course I knew I didn't need community hours to fulfill scholarship requirement. I was giving up their time freely because that not only will it help those but it helps build confidence and help me feeling like I'm actually doing something. One program called Midnight Run were student bring homeless food, clothing and toiletries from seven to midnight to the homeless. We would make three stop during that night. Some would shuffle over to us and those that didn't for reason they didn't share we would leave food and water by their boxes. Other would talk about their life before sleeping on the streets and those stories is what I always remember what they where and how they got there. Their stories would hold on to your heart and draw your full attention. I listened and took it in cause I knew why I was here, to be a part of their stories .The best part is when someone turns to you and say thank you, with sincerity and hope and you think to yourself I put that there. I made a difference.
