This year was my last year of high school. To end off this year, I decided to do some community service at the school. I started in April and ended and the end of the school year or June of 2024. I ended up working for IT fixing all of the broken chromebooks in the school. I probably fixed around 800 of them and got really good speed. I did that 3 hours each day and even skipped lunch to help them fix even more. When there was not a chromebook to fix, I would go and clean up the room a little bit. The school loved me helping them out so they wrote me a letter of recommendation which was really nice of them. I did not have to do any of that. I could have been doing other things like gaming or chilling out with friends. I loved helping out the school. If the school is helping me out with my education, I should be helping them back. I made a major difference at that school taking lots off of their shoulders so that they can do other beneficial things for other students instead of fixing students broken computers. Now they have time to improve the schools security to keep students safe. After giving back to the community at the high school, I realized that community service is really important. It definitely does strengthen you and it also feels really nice doing it. The school was very thankful with me getting lots of thank yous every day. When I go to college this fall, I plan on doing more community service in the area because I know it makes a big difference in my life and their lives. I will look for volunteer work at the college and will try my best to make a difference. I will include the letter of recommendation in this essay to show how much this all impacted them.

My favorite game to play from Nintendo is Super Smash Bros. Back around 2018, I played Smash Bros for the first time. I was at a youth group activity where everyone brought their gaming consoles. One person had the GameCube and was playing Super Smash Bros Melee on it. I asked them if I could join and they said yes. I grabbed the controller and selected Mario because I was a big fan of him. When I played it for the first time, I loved it! I kept trying to play and learn but I needed to let someone else have a try. A couple of years later I got the Nintendo Switch. I ended up getting Super Smash Bros Ultimate on there and I was very excited! I played that game for several hours each day for the next couple of weeks. I had friends over multiple times to come and play it with me. I felt that the game added a connection between me and my friends and gave us something to do. I didn't have the same amount of fun without my friend because It felt like I was accomplishing anything. Overall, I loved playing Smash Bros and I still play it to this day.
