I am a young man interested in continuously learning and growing as a person. This is why I decided to serve the community through my commitment to AmeriCorps. Through my service I hope to acquire new skills and experiences that will enrich my life in meaningful and lasting ways. Already, in my time as a teacher at Neighborhood House I have helped people to learn useful skills and in turn have learned about them and myself. The differences and shared aspects of our lives have shed light on who we are as a community and who we are as human beings. I know the experience will influence the decisions I make and the course of my life for years to come as I help to build a supportive global community where we all can thrive.
