My passion is social justice. I want to help people fight for their rights and let them know they have a voice too. I also love to argue. Sometimes debates can be hard, but when I get really passionate about something I fight for it. I am always look for ways the world could change for the better, and I think that law and social justice will let me have a platform.
At Frost Valley YMCA Service Trips, I will be out able to directly help people and be a positive force in their lives. I want to give back and do my share to change the world for the better. I hope to learn a lot about myself and my peers along the way.
Aaliyah is an exceptionally mature, dedicated, and hard-working young scholar. She has the ability to persevere given difficult assignments and social situations. Further, Aaliyah is able to task-manage and work in groups on complex projects. She has all of the necessary soft and hard skills to excel at the Frost Valley YMCA Service Trip program.
I have been home for awhile trying to figure out how to put my experience into words. I had fun and learned a lot of new things like how the Habitat for Humanity Restore works and how they build the houses. Unfortunately, we did not get to help with the build, but we still did learn a lot. And not to mention how close we got as a group towards the end. There were some challenges I must say, but they were well taken care of with the help of others pushing me to become more independent and outspoken about my issues. I don’t really know how to sum everything up, but I do know that I would definitely do it again.
I am all packed and on my way! Very nervous but excited at the same time. I’m so glad I get the opportunity to help make a difference and to meet new people. Thank you all for helping me with this great opportunity.
