7. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
After volunteering in the homeless shelter’s kitchen, I wanted a more personable and interactive experience. I did not feel I was making a difference and wanted to do more. I decided to pass out pizza slices around Oakland. Most individuals ate one immediately, and saved another slice. I fed the homeless two meals when it was rare for them to have one. I saw how much they respected and treasured the simplest things in life, like a slice of pizza. They sincerely meant their “thank you”, and I knew they appreciated what little I gave they had. I know that these people have so much potential, and I wanted to help and support by directing them to places to find recovery.
