Passion for our Community [Story]
by Abrielle Watson (Staff Writer)
Young passion for the community doesn’t mean small passion. Some students are making a big difference right now, through clubs and in community service.
“In Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) family is the focus. We do community service such as trick-or-treating for canned goods. We also bought presents for two families in need and made care packages for the homeless. Our planning is during school but the services we do are not during school hours,” said club leader Linda Motz.
Although they are young the students are happy to serve the community and out others above themselves. They are happy to make a difference and glad that they are in the FCCLA club
“We are working on a project that will help out the community. We are making a PowerPoint to take to the middle school. [If I could] I would change it so I had more time in it the class. It is really self-fulfilling. It is worth the time that it takes and we don’t do anything on weekends” said freshmen Chania Dunham.
These students are becoming passionate about making a difference.
“Me and my friends wanted to be in the same club and decided FCCLA would be fun. I wish that the club was bigger but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. [I like that]We never do anything for our benefit, but we have fun” said freshmen Chasity Cerna.
This goes to show that you do not need to have a lot of time to make a difference, just commitment and hard work. With friends you can make it enjoyable. No one said making a difference was a chore, and it doesn’t have to be boring, if you have the right attitude.
