Well, I’ve done quite a few different things for service in my life but my favorite one was doing “Backpacks for Kids.”  It was a program that provided backpacks and school supplies to all the kids in my school distict that were on the free lunch program.  It was held at the local Ford dealership in Issaquah and a whole group of my friends and I went down there one saturday morning and handed out all the goods. 

     I felt that this project was very productive and very postive.  It was eye opening to me that there were kids that I was going to school with that did not have it as good as I did.  It reminded me to not pass judgements or make assumptions about people, because you really don’t know what their life is all about.

     This service experience will help me at the Boys and Girls Club because  I will be encountering kids with different backgrounds.  Whether they are poor or disabled or whatever, I can’t just go and make assumptions.  I just want to go and do good and make a difference.  It doesn’t even have to be a big difference, it could just be that I made their day better by playing a game of bball with them or helping them with their homework.
