I have always advocated and believed that involvement in the community is necessary. Moreover, I will stay involved with the community while attending college and for the rest of my life. My parents have always instilled in my sibling and me the importance of giving back. Being involved has helped me meet different people from my neighbor and surrounding areas. As a college student at Spelman, I will mentor children and teenagers at community centers. Also, I will always give back to the community by participating in events to feed the homeless and help them find housing and jobs. I won't do this for hours, and I will do this because I have a passion for helping others. I feel that giving back does not always have to be giving money but giving your time and inspiring others with words of motivation. Volunteering for me is very satisfying. I always feel like I did something good for someone who needed help and helped the community improve. Currently, I am a member of Camp Now leadership Academy. Therefore, run by Bernice King, Martin Luther king's Daughter, is the director of the Camp. The Camp's mission "Is to empower people to create a just, humane, equitable and peaceful world by applying Dr. King's nonviolent philosophy and methodology (Nonviolence365)." The Camp has taught me leadership skills, and I am committed to staying involved in the community. One of the reasons I want to become a lawyer is because I plan to have a law firm. In addition, I will help out others who live in low-income neighborhoods through mentoring, volunteering and raising money. The legal system affects the minority community in many ways. Especially when it comes to African American men, I feel that becoming a lawyer will contribute to the well-being of society. Therefore, promoting justice through fair procedures. I will contribute my time by helping individuals who a wrongfully convicted and can not afford to hire a lawyer. Unfortunately, there is a small percentage of black lawyers in the United States. Therefore, I will start an organization and scholarship for minorities who want to become lawyers. Most importantly, I feel like this is essential because the world we live in is unequal for many minorities. Therefore, I will continue throughout my life to raise money and mentor other minorities to become lawyers and be involved with the legal system. In conclusion, I expect to complete more than 25 hours of community service and continue to do so after college and throughout my career. Community service raises social awareness by positively impacting the community. I was taught at a young age by my parents the impact of helping the community by committing my time. I have volunteered for toys for tots also. I have volunteered for churches within my community by helping give food and clothes and mentoring young children within my community. Furthermore, I enjoy helping others and seeing them succeed; it is a rewarding feeling, and I also get to meet new people.
