Everyday I think about what I can do to better my life and the lives of others. I recently volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Mobile, Alabama and it was an awesome experience. I would love to make the experience even better so I recently signed up to volunteer locally. I am currently awaiting a call that they are in need of assistance. I’m not part of a group and they have a huge group of volunteers but there are many ways I can help them according to the information they requested and the skills I had for each one. I look forward to working with my local Habitat for Humanity groups.
Ever since I was a child, I always had a spark deep inside me that may have been embedded by my mother but still lives and grows within me. When I help others, it makes me feel like a real person. I want to hear their stories and it reminds me of how lucky I am and how grateful I should be. I should help those who have harder times than I could ever imagine and help give them the hope they need to restore their lives.
I attend Church regularly and I give when I can and sometimes I may give too much of my money to others. Overall, I always find a way to make it through and I want to do the same for others.
