Volunteer



I started volunteering at the local library so I could fulfill my requirements for the page scholarship. I started helping this overly active 7 year old who kept wanting to kiss me and play with my hair…was he there for tutoring or what? He was so cute though! He wants to be a firefighter and a ninja when he grows up. For most of my time I was helping this older Nigerian man with his sixty page research paper on an African tribe Olgba. All his information was good but he didn’t know basics of the Microsoft Word program! He could type but didn’t know there was spell-check, page break, that he only needed one space in-between words.

I really admired his patience, passion and… just hard work!
