Serving as a parent and a volunteer is like a bike ride. I balance, pedal, and fall while meeting the physical needs of an infant, providing boundaries for a toddler, and empowering minds of a teenager. I find a consistent speed on the path and enjoy the ride. I hit a bump and the bike has a flat tire. My husband or bystanders help to repair the tire which demonstrates my willingness to ask for assistance. A path may start out as a smooth ride then a pothole appears. I adjust and overcome obstacles. If the weather changes, I gather information and decide if it is wiser to continue or to return. When I approach a dead end, I look beyond for a dirt road. Each bump, pothole or dead end is opportunity for growth. It is how I continually pursue growth that sets me apart. The extra mile on the dirt path is challenging but the determination positively influences those who are quickly becoming contributing members of society.- Coordinate and co-lead an adopt a class for over 10 years- Connect Chair at elementary school- Connect Program creator at another elementary school- Memphis Missions Committee Member- Memphis agency interviewer - Fund allocation advisor- Camp Representative
