"In addition to more private hobbies like reading and writing, I have been volunteering as a Big Brother for four years. In this capacity, I have met with a teenager named Ryan once a week for three hours. We play basketball together, work on homework, go to the gym, and even volunteer for neighborhood cleanup projects. I believe that having committed mentors is important not only for a young person's development, but it also fosters stronger community connections."

"I am a passionate soccer player and since the sport is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, I decided to start an afterschool soccer club for middle school students, which I have been running for six years. Playing soccer has brought these children such joy, and in our practices, we discuss the importance of teamwork, encouragement, and sportsmanship. In addition, I believe this experience has prepared me to take on this manager role overseeing afterschool programming with your chapter."
