Why I Serve

On Thursday we had to think write about why we serve. The reasoning will adapt throughout my service year, but as of right now, this is my ditty...

I serve for the kids who don't know anything about the world other than the hood they rep or the city they're from.
I serve to show that just because you go to an inner city school it doesn't mean you can't be somebody.
I serve because it is my civic duty.
I serve to develop a new generation of leaders.
I serve to continue to make this land what our forefathers envisioned over 200 years ago.
I serve because I will provide hope to the hopeless.
I serve because you can't put a dollar amount on these students' success.
I serve because it is my passion and because I can.
