S.T.A.N.D

During middle school, I was very involved in a club known as (STAND) Socially Together And Naturally Diverse. STAND works with students from diverse backgrounds to promote an appreciation of God's kingdom in its fullness. Through events, discussions, and fellowship, STAND offers opportunities for learning and celebration of the diversity in the body of Christ. Being a part of this group really showed me how people are special and different in their own ways. One project that I took part in was were schools from completely different diversities and cities came to shadow us at our school, and vise-versa. This allowed us to see the similarities and differences between the communities.

We also organized and made possible a few food drives in my school, and my community. A select few were given the opportunity to deliver the food to families in need. To see the smiles on these families face really touched my heart, and made me realizing you can make the community a better place by volunteering. This was a great club. I was so glad I was a part of this, and helped to make a difference in my community.
