= Ms. S's Reasons to Volunteer =

I have been volunteering in the Lincoln Community since I was in high school. I volunteered at Head Start as an office assistant and at my high school, [|Lincoln Southeast]. I was a Peer Helper to classmates and students at Zeman Elementary School. My parents strongly encouraged me to get involved in the Lincoln Community and help people. Here is a picture of my family. My mom is on the left, older sister, Steph, in the middle, my dad in the back and me on the left ( junior in high school) =====

Right now, I am an active volunteer in the Lincoln Community. I would say that over a month's time, I give at least 15 hours of my time. I have been a mentor at Heartland Big Brothers and Sisters for the last four years. I have mentored the same "little" since I became a "big" (see our picture below). I strongly believe in mentoring young people in our society. It is one of the most important things a person can do in their life. I also like to help out in the kitchen at the Mission by preparing food and serving guests. Check it out at the [|People's City Mission] =====

When I am not busy volunteering, I enjoy spending a lot of time reading, cooking food, and lounging around watching movies (with my pets). My pets keep me pretty busy. Everyday no matter what the weather is like, I walk my dog Jack while my cat Gwennie waits for us back home. =====
