A Bit About Me and My Love of Community Service

I have always loved to help other people in any way possible. When I was younger it was mostly my family, helping my Nana bake, cleaning the house for Mom while she was working, and odds and ends for anyone who asked. My community service really began in high school during my two years of honor society. I did over 40 hours with numerous different places in my home town. My favorite service was when I helped with senior meals, cooking, packing the meals to go, serving those who came in, and being able to chat with the people while they ate. When I came to college, for our Freshman requirements we had to have 60 hours of community service, I decided to do mine with an adult home because elderly people are my passion. My sophomore year I discovered Circle K and all the great community service projects that they do throughout the year. With Circle K I have racked up over 100 hours of service and all while I was having fun. I loved Circle K and all the wonderful services they did for people so I became a dues paid member and a co-committee chair of K-Family ( I'll explain what that is later when I really talk about Circle K). And for this year and my upcoming year, I have decided to take on many roles within Circle K which include being the Bethany Village Chair, Co-Chair for K-Family, and the Fundraising chair. Community service to me is not just about giving back, but about the smiles you receive, the friends you gain, and the fun you have.
