It's always good to volunteer in your community. Volunteering helps you learn
and gain some points when you're trying to get into your dream college.
When volunteering you always want to look for something that you have a
bit of a passion for. If your an animal person it's best to search for a place
where you work close to, or with animals. There are many
places in Norwalk that need help. Volunteering is something that takes
dedication because you're not getting paid but, in the long run you learn more
lessons and gain more values. That's something you can't buy!
