Gotta Love the Kids

A personal story in the experience: I Like to Do Volunteer Work
I started volunteering in high school.  During my senior year at lunch time and during my free period after lunch I worked with kids at a school for autistic children.  The kids were amazing and the people who worked at the school were really cool too. 

When I got to college I wanted to work with kids again and I found a program that works with low income youth living in housing complexes downtown.  I was at college for five years and went every weekend - running the program in my 3rd and 4th year.  Because of my work schedule after college I had to stop for about a year, but I'm going to start going again this weekend!  Kids grow up so much in a year I hardly know what to expect.
