Personal Statement
Ever since I helped raise money to buy a cow for an underprivileged family, I have always thought of helping out even more. I have always loved giving back to others, but Now is the time to start helping out. The problem I want to help solve is World Hunger. I know it may take awhile if it ever does to eliminate.

All of those presents could have been gold for kids that never had anything to look forward at christmas
