One of the best feelings in the world, is knowing that you have made an impact in someone’s life. Volunteer work is one of my favorite things to pass the time. I love seeing the warm smiles on others faces. I work with youth, the elderly, animal shelters, and cleaning up parks. I thoroughly enjoy working with kids.

This building is located a couple of blocks west of Tahlequah High School. Conversely, upon doing the volunteer work, I came to find out that
