A Special Kind of Gift

By: Annmarie Dean

Volunteering is awesome.  It was during high school that I got my first taste of how rewarding and uplifting volunteering is; in order to graduate, each student had to clock a certain number of community service hours.  I’m proud to say that I went well above the required number because of how fulfilling I found volunteering to be. Volunteer Recognition Day on April 20 is perfect excuse to make a commitment to volunteer this year. 

Helping Hands

As a teen, I never understood the concept of working for free. That was unfathomable until I reached my junior/senior year of high school and realized that as a requirement for graduation I had to complete a certain amount of volunteer hours. Honestly, this bummed me out!
