Personal Statement
As a community member, I have always wanted to improve what is around me. I am proud to come from my small hometown, and all I want to do is give my time to help improve it. For serving in any community, I want to help improve people's lives and help them enjoy their community to instill pride in their hometown. I accomplish this by giving my time to community projects and events to help improve the community and help people become better themselves. As an education major, I want to be the difference for students who struggle in class. I want to help students discover whom they are and what they want to do. A goal for me as a teacher is to make students realize what they can do for their community. I volunteer my time by helping with an after school program, backpack program, community cleanups, and other events in the community that need volunteers.
