Student Experiences

“I hope to give the girls I tutor hope and faith in themselves. I want to make them all know how important they are.”

“Community Service brings a smile to my face each day to see the girls at Girls' Inc. smile and enjoy their homework. I also love helping others because I always learn something new. Service is what I do to repay society...it's who I am.”

“Everyone needs help at times. If I can provide that help I'll feel like I made a difference.”

“It's so inspiring to see children confident and happy. I know that without my help some of the children would not have even attempted their homework. Service is such an incredible experience!”

“I have already learned that I take for granted ‘everyday things’ that some kids never get.”

“(Through service) I hope to make new friends, learn new things, see the world in a different way, and make a positive difference in someone's life.”

“The children will know someone cares. I will go to any extent to make sure the kids understand their schoolwork and pay attention to every act around them. All I need is a smile to know that I made a difference.”

“I plan to make a difference by giving each child and person the hope that they might not have had before.”
