Before I became a member of Alpha Delta Pi, I worked with the council on aging in my hometown, serving meals and visiting with the elderly. I also was a part of a nationally recognized problem solving team that taught elementary school students how to get involved in their community through volunteer work and particpation.

I'm not Greek yet either, but I'm hoping to be one this fall! Before coming to college, I did volunteer work at Kaiser hospital, I helped teach elementary school kids how to read, I was an assistant teacher for a third grade class, and (my favorite accomplishment) I volunteered over five hundred hours at a teen suicide hotline.

I did a decent amount of service in high school.

My absolute favorite was coaching soccer for boys in pre-K to second grade. Little kids are so funny, and it was a great release for me, and I got to make a huge impact on the kids teaching them not only how to play soccer but things like sportsmanship and teamwork.

I also was part of a project called the Green Springs Elementary Buddy program through my gifted and talented class. We would go once a week to the elementary school and basically hang out and befriend our "buddy" who had been determined as at-risk either socially or developmentally. We weren't there to tutor them but just be their friend.

Finally for Spanish National Honor Society, I took part in a program called Mother's hands at my HS, it was a place for low income families to get free food and clothes and discounted items (big things like strollers, or occasionally needed furniture). There were a lot of Hispanic families that used the program and since they had to bring their children in order to recieve their quota on various things we had a room where we baby sat them and used our spanish skills (as rudimentary as they may have been) to keep them entertained.

Before I was a Zeta, I was involved in Chuch and community programs. I gave over 1,000 hours to each. It was alot of hard work and dedication.

Wow, I'm the slacker here. I didn't do any community service before I became Greek.
