Service and volunteer work has always been a big priority with me, as I love to help others and be a force of positive change in the world. I volunteer through my church, my youth group, Civil Air Patrol, and on my own anywhere I see an opportunity.  Sometimes I wonder who gets more out of my volunteer work, the people I am trying to help or me.  It has been the source of so many lasting relationships and friendships that I can't imagine my life without it.
