When I turned 15 years old my mother suggested that I volunteer at The Boys and Girls club. “What,” I answered with a surprised look. “You are so caring and bright you can share some of your experiences with kids that are not fortunate as you are” my mother said. “I have nothing to offer or teach to others and who would want to listen or look up to me” I said in a sad way. “Awe, come on, just give it a try I will take you after school on Friday and then you can tell me if you want to do it or not
