In high school, I went to Mali, West Africa and lived in an indigenous village for two weeks to help build a school. Mali is one of the poorest undeveloped countries in the world and the literacy rate is unbelievably low. I like knowing that I helped both children and adults learn to read and write which will help not only this small village, but Mali as a whole.

I went to a catholic high school and I consider myself religious. One great deed I can never forget is during high school, every Wednesday I went out into the community with my class mates to volunteer and perform service to the community. I went to an elementary school and worked in a classroom with autistic children. I gave the teachers an extra two hands to help out and play with the children. My goal each day was to put a smile on each one of their faces by the end of the day. (:

In middle school, I interviewed a Vietnam war veteran for a school project. As I interviewed him, he told me about his life and I realized he didn't really have many people left in his to visit or take care of him. For the next few years, I sent him letters and cards hoping it brightened his day and made him feel cared for.

I helped create a club in my high school to spread awareness for Peace One Day, which occurs September 21st of each year.

I am a mentor for Workforce Alliance Youth Mentor. I mentor a young teenager from New Haven, giving her gimps at what she can do in her future.
