Service
This year, I continued working at Kerrisdale Academy, as well as finding some other service opportunities. Since I've become very close with some teachers and university guidance counsellors at Kerrisdale Academy, I learned more from them. A SAT teacher asked me to help her type some good writing samples into WORD documents, and I learned a lot myself during the process. I also got some advice on university application from the counsellors. Because university is an important point in life, I think these advice are very valuable to me.
Another great service opportunity is the Soup Kitchen. I had no experience related to serving food and drinks, or greeting and humouring customers, so I was a little nervous. After the service started, however, all of my fear disappeared. I am glad that I had a chance to see how homeless people live their lives, and learned to treat everyone with respect and dignity. These homeless people may have made some wrong decisions at some point in their lives, but they deserve care and respect, as they try to improve their lives.
