Water gathered at the rim of the woman's eyes, sparkling. As I wrapped the cashmere scarf around her shoulders, I recalled her "qualifications" from my job briefing. Low income, mother of four, soup kitchen dependent - they probably made her holiday less than merry. To her, the scarf was more than a piece of cloth. It gave her warmth. Instantly, the mounds of toys, clothes, and essentials were no longer burdens to be given away. I was blessed with the opportunity to give. I smiled and welcomed her to Christmas House.
Through events like this Key Club has allowed me to reach out with love and compassion. Show initiative to better my community, and as leader, motivate members to do the same. Together we raised over $1,200 for UNICEF and committed weekly visits to the homeless shelter in Seattle. Key Club has invested me with a strong sense of community and helped me discover my passion therein. Service resonates with my heart, because I do believe that my actions will make a difference.
It'd be nice if you guys can help me out with my short response for common app. I'm trying not to use "passion" in my second paragraph. Any suggestion of replacing the word/phrase? Thanks so much!!
