My fourth blog (I’m a machine)
By far, Light the Night was the best community service activity I have participated in, even though it was freezing outside. I arrived to Forest Park twenty minutes early so I was lending a helping hand to my fellow volunteers. It felt good to help people without being asked. Before I started doing my assigned task, I watched Ron and Patrick play a game of handball (Patrick lost). My designated task was to help people fill out their forms, collect money, and distribute movie tickets and free t-shits for those who raised enough money of course. It was fun because all the people I met were very friendly. There were older people there but surprisingly there were junior and high school students. It was great to see students participating in this event. Most of the students were from Bayside high school. In addition, I even met my ninth grade Spanish teacher Senora Benson. It totally shocked me to see my teacher and her daughter. She was still the same person I remember which is great. I hope she never changes. Also, there was a lot of free stuff here. We had pizza, chips, juice, and muscle milk. The amount of food that was here was amazing. All in all, Light the Night was the best experience I have ever encountered. If the opportunity came around to go for a second time I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to say yes.
I LOVE LIGHT THE NIGHT!
