I went on my first mission trip when I was 13 to West Virginia. My next one a year later was in Central Virginia. Both were through the same group with my church and we did the same types of things like building decks, painting, and landscaping. While in West Virginia my group and I even dug up rocks from a local trail so it would be easier to navigate. We did this all with out any power tools because it was considered a liability.
My most recent mission trip was to Pittsburg, Pennsylvanian. It was through a different service organization so it was interesting to see how they did things differently than the group I had gone with my other two times. This group was more interested in having the kids make a real connection with the home owners so we were assigned to one house and stayed there. I liked that experience the best because you really got to know who you were working for.
Throughout high school I was apart of a volunteer organization called Anchor Club which focused on helping out around the community and forming a community within the school. I was an officer of that club for three years and president my last year. I was also a swim team captain but that's all I really have for leadership.
My top five strengths are:
Input, Individualization, Adaptability, Empathy, and Ideation
