Volunteering

As part of Team 3 I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. First off I like to volunteer my services to help others whether it is mowing a neighbor's lawn, help raise money for fundraisers, or just sign up for any volunteer forms that are available throughout my community. Volunteering for me is a great way to do some work that actually feels like it has a purpose and that it can change someone's life for the better even if it is in the smallest of ways. Volunteering also can make lifelong friendships with others that I help. Volunteer jobs such as serving food to people at the homeless shelter, taking care of abused or abandoned animals at animal shelters, and help take care of sick patients at hospitals has also help me gain experience on taking care of others.
