Through my participation in the Fundraising and Cancer Education Club at Bartlett High School, I shaved my head to raise money for cancer research. Personally I raised almost a thousand dollars and as an organization we raised several thousand more. Knowing that through my actions I helped give hope to people around the world was one of the most satisfying feelings I have ever experienced. Since then I have done many hours of community service and even joined the Youth United Way of Elgin, which is dedicated to assisting under-privileged children in the Elgin area. Community service is very important to me and I believe that helping others is vital to having a thriving, supportive community. As a member of the National Honor Society, I hope to extend my own passion for helping others to the entire community. I aspire to be not only an outstanding student, but a humble, considerate member of society. With just a small amount of time and effort, each and every one of us can make a difference in the lives of others. Community service is an essential element of progressing as people and learning valuable life lessons that can only be learned through
