Volunteering at Crestmoor

I volunteered at Crestmoor Elementary during their open house night and watched the little kids while their parents went to go meet their teachers and learn about their classes. I really enjoy volunteering because it not only gives me good karma but also makes me feel good about myself. I love to give back to my community and that's why I want to be a nurse. A little over a year ago, a terrible fire happened in San Bruno. Ever since so parents have not felt safe to leave their kids at home or anywhere alone, so that's why they had the babysitting service during open house so parents would feel safe enough going to open house knowing their kids are in safe hands. Although the fire ruined many homes and killed a few people, it brought our community closer and made people realize to appreciate the small things in life. By volunteering I feel like I am doing my part in giving back to the community to make the world go around. Volunteering is my role of service. The religion I most agree with is Buddhism based on the fact that a person creates their own karma; I believe that is what Buddhism has taught me to do which is why I love to do things to better other people. It also relates back to our service role in the Connections Project class. I gave back to my community by volunteering for those parents who do not feel safe leaving their children at home alone.
