Community Service
Some people came to this world being unfortunate. I came to this world fortunate, I have parents, a loving family, supportive peers, a shelter to sleep, clothes to wear and food to eat. Since I am fortunate, I would like to give back to the community, I hope that through my efforts, I would be able to help at least a handful of people to have a better lifestyle than what they currently have.
