Contribute to the World

One contribution I can make to be a responsible citizen of the community and world is to be a role model to young children. As a member of the Shenandoah softball team, we are required to spend two hours every other week at the Boys and Girls club in Winchester. As a team and an individual we have an important role with these children. Spending our time there is something I truly enjoy doing. While we are there, we help them with homework and tutor them with anything they don't understand. By doing this, we can show these young students the importance of academics. After we help them with their academics, we play games as a group. Through this, we are able to teach them the importance of leadership and team work. Even though we are only required to go every other week, a lot of the team members will go on our own time to help out. This shows how much we love spending time with the kids and our focus on bettering the world. The children there look forward to us coming and see us as role models.  Every week, we hear from them how they want to be just like us when they grow up. These children are the future of Winchester as well as the world. Every minute spent there is an opportunity to help these children become better people in the future.
