Henok Research Paper

Decent Essays
One of my closest freineds named Henok really motivated me to serve. Henok is the one to always put aside anything and everything he is doing to be there for anybody. Henok is always look for ways to serve his community, and his peers. This type of charecteristic in people is rare, and it is a charecteristic I envy. I believe humility is a vital and essientail part of humanity, and when we humble ourselves and focus on other peoples needs, lives can and will be changed for the good. Serving people can make a difference between a community focused on themselves to one another, and if we don’t serve one another less oppertunities will be created. So this is why i want to join AmeriCorps, its because making a difference matters and creating oppertunities
