I am a junior at Friday Harbor High School and I have chosen to work with little kids because I find it very easy and I love helping them. Every Junior needs to do a Community Project to pass High School. The first couple of days my teacher let the kids just pick stuff that might interest them and that would help the community. I found out that helping kids was something I really enjoyed and so I wanted to base my community project on helping kids. I did a lot of research and found that The Head Start program was something fun and a good community project that I would enjoy doing. I have gone over there for a lot and I love the kids very dearly; I love that they want me to read to them. I have always found it fun to help kids out because when I was little I never got the help that kids are getting now and I want to help it going.
