Student Honored with Sawyers Soar Certificate for Volunteering his Skills
I decided to help because I like helping people, especially when I know I can make things easier for them. I understand how hard it can be when you don’t speak the language, and I didn’t want families to feel confused or stressed during such a special event. My parents have always taught me the importance of being kind, respectful, and to help others whenever possible, and I try to live by those values.
When I received the certificate at the Board of Education meeting, I felt very proud and grateful but really nervous at the same time. I wasn’t expecting to be recognized, so it meant a lot to me. It felt good knowing that what I did made a difference and that people noticed the effort I put into helping others. The experience motivated me to continue doing good things because there’s nothing better than good karma.
