Community Service Personal Statement

I was able to complete over two hundred hours of community service in 4 years of high school. I have done several communities services such as volunteering summer camps, family markets, and providing tutoring for students at a local elementary. In the summer camp that I have volunteered, I have chosen to be a coach and teach children how to play soccer.

Giving to the community is something that I enjoy doing. I always loved helping others and would always find a way to help those in need. When helping others, I do not expect anything in return because

Rather than feeling nervous I was able to gain more confidence in me and setting a good example to my fellow teammates, I was also able to help my coach and teammates when they needed advice, guidance or just someone to boost up their confidence, Being involved in Leadership Training Institute (LTI), and Student Government Association (SGA), has also exposed me to several different community service opportunities. Recently, my friends and I created a minority girl club within our own school and we were presented with the challenge to find a way to positively impact our community. By this community service project, I was given the opportunity to sharpen my leadership and communication skills and being able to bring people together from different backgrounds. This club not only helped the girls but, also benefited me because I saw the importance of providing guidance and leadership for my younger
