Many years ago, I entered college, for the first time. Going into my second year of college, I was blessed with a scholarship that allowed me to give to the community by teaching adults how to read. I also volunteered in a high risk preschool... I learned the rewards of giving to others. I entered the military with this background, and it was something dear to me. My Air Force job allowed me to continue teaching, new subject, but it allowed me to use my knowledge to assist others. When I left active duty, and entered the reserve forces, I began raising my children through homeschooling and the public education system. I began volunteering in the classrooms, library, with any teacher, and I felt home. Over 3500 volunteer hours later, plus those hours in scout volunteering, I know I have impacted a few children. Now, I am raising funds and awareness for Give Kids the World, and hope to make a new impact..... goal is to fund an entire family's trip to Give Kids the World. ... a huge undertaking... $5000... part way there.... Anyone wish to help on this journey? Btw, my journey wirh Give Kids the World changes when I run my first half marathon for the team..... not sure where it leads from there.....
