three things you probably knew about me but don't know why it's important to me:

1) I'm a tutor.
And no, I don't mean in the "I sit down and help my little brother with homework because my parents make me" kind of way either. I mean, I take time out of my day to go and help with a kindergarten class and a first grade class. That means there's approximately fourty kids that I help. And let me tell you, there's NOTHING in the world like spending fifteen minutes with a child struggling over a word in a book or a math problem, and after awhile looking up and saying "oh, I get it!!" Nothing in the world because you feel so damn good about yourself.

2) I'm a volunteer.
Another one of those things I do not just to benefit myself, but to help the world as well. I do it a lot through Key Club, and the last thing I did was working at the community center. The first Thursday of every month, our community center does a food distribution. They hand out food to families in need, and twice a year Key Club helps out. I love it. It's hard work, lifting heavy boxes and trying to keep up with the others pushing the carts. It's exhausting. But I'd do it every day if I could.

3) I'm an artist.
There's hardly any feeling I have that compares to how I feel when I pour myself into art. Whether it be a painting, a drawing, a photo, or a new story, I can emerse myself into this creation, and I make it a part of me. It's one sure way to wrap myself up in my thoughts. And that's always a good thing.
