The event is for those who have recently completed eighth grade through those who graduated on the year it is being held. Presbyteries from not along all over the United States, but also the globe, come together for a week to strengthen one another’s faith. My pastor had spoken to my incredibly small congregation about the option of going to Triennium, and immediately I knew I would go, even if I was the

Inspiration What motivated you to do your volunteer work? How did you come up with the idea for your activity? Who or what inspired you to get involved? How did your volunteer activity begin? Why did you feel it was important? (300 words) *Inspiration Word Limit: 300 I was asked by my softball coach to preform this service.

I have had the chance to work with numerous organizations across the great city of Las Vegas. My first volunteer experience was with the Rescue Mission, a local homeless shelter in Downtown Las Vegas. There, I served food and assisted the homeless.

There, I helped guide tourists and provided information about the museum and the mob. I've

I was forced into waking up every Saturday for an entire month before seven a.m. to be at the library with adults and a bunch of kids half my age.
