Service Over Self, also known as SOS, is the community service opportunity which has made the most significant impact on my life. Service Over Self’s mission is to give back to underserved communities through home repair while providing leadership development opportunities for the youth that attend the camp. The camp has 7-8 week long sessions during the summer and I have attended one session for the past two summers. While attending SOS, I become my best self and I feel empowered due to the encouragement team leaders provide the campers. We are encouraged to climb ladders and get on the roofs of houses, which is what SOS is known for repairing. We take down disintegrating roofs and make them new again while working in the ruthless summer sun,
