Volunteering

When I was in Highschool, I use to live in Boulder City, Nevada. While I was living their, I lived very close to St. Judes Ranch for children which is a foster care. I would help the kids with homework, help make dinner and to truly just be their friend, advocate, and just a listening ear for them because they didn't have much. This experience taught me empathy and appreciation for everything I have. I'm very grateful that I got to have this experience!
