"My favorite part about being a volunteer is interacting with the kids. Everyday I try my best to make them laugh and they do the same for me. We have a lot of fun together. I feel very fortunate to have built relationships with each one of them."

What is a piece of advice you would give to students who are about to enter high school? The advice I would give to students entering high school is to take full advantage of everything that is offered to you, even if it is out of your comfort zone. It might be academics or arts or athletics. Just give it a try. Even if you are not the best at it, you will learn something new and build your confidence.
