The Association

The nonprofit organization that I have chosen for my research project is Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). There are many credible nonprofit organizations but Habitat for Humanity is the only one that I have ever worked for and truly enjoyed my time there.

HFHI’s mission is “Seeking to put God’s love into action Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope” (Habitat for…

one I am most passionate about. When I first started playing soccer, I was about five years old. Even though I was only five I still deeply enjoyed playing games and practicing.

We were not a bad team either, but I really wanted to play more soccer, also play more competitively. Along the way, one of my friends named Nate wanted…

Before the game they had all of the seniors walk out on the field with their parents…
