Before that, I volunteered wherever I could at the church. I want to keep giving back to my church and the teaching community once I graduate from college.
Every type of community exists. The sense of community here in Kansas City is what makes me want to stay. I want to participate in whatever form I can because I enjoy being of service. I just want to be able to help those around me. Even if for some reason I decide not to become a teacher, I still want to work with others and be helpful. I can only continue my journey and truly help my community through college.
A college degree benefits me personally in addition to assisting me with my future career. I love learning new things and going to school as I've already mentioned. It sounds strange, but I find comfort and connections with people I wouldn't normally associate myself with at school. I consider the community that comes along with college when I consider going there. A person's life begins a fresh chapter at college. It's an opportunity to expand your social network, develop new skills, and perhaps begin building your professional network.
