Fall 2010 I helped out Coach Gene Spoerl with the Middle School Soccer Club. I helped run the drills at practice, helping the kids to get better at soccer. I traveled to every game with the team and helped carry the water jug, soccer ball bag, etc. I also substituted players in and out. {32 hours}

12/18/2010 I went on the French and Spanish National Honor Society trip to ACLAMO in Norristown. I helped to distribute toys to children in need and made many families happy for the holidays. I would load toys into a bag for each family based on how old their children were and what gender they were. Everything was already sorted out, so I was able to walk around the ACLAMO building and pick out toys. {5 hours}

11/22/2010 I signed people up for the blood drive at school for two hours. I did this via student council and signed eligible parents and students up for the blood drive on a later date. {2 hours}

2/10/11 I went on the ACLAMO trip to Norristown for Valentine's Day. There I made buttons and made the day festive for those who are less fortunate than us. I also will do the 2011 relay for life: I am the captain of my team. I am organizing people and collecting money. {3 hours}

5/30/11 I played trumpet in the Memorial Day parade. I honored local veterans by playing with the rest of the Jenkintown High School Band. {2 hours}

May and June 2011 I was a team captain for Relay for Life. I organized the entire "Senior Team." I set up and distributed forms and let everyone know when they were due, as well as attending all of the team captain's meetings. {19 hours}

July 2012 I helped out at Books through Bars, a non-profit organization that donates books to inmates in Pennsylvania. I asked for people in Jenkintown to donate books to the organization and then picked them up and boxed them. At the Books through Bars center itself, I filled orders of books that specific inmates wanted and then wrapped and packaged those books. {9 hours}
