Who am i?

Hi! I'm Jenny Anderson and I am a junior in Sal's first period class. At school, I am involved in Give, Student Embassador, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Student Council. I am not always the most outgoing, but when I have something to say I speak my mind. I love meeting new people and building relationships with them. Freshman year I was on cheer leading at school and I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without it because, although I no longer cheer, I met one of my best friends from cheer. She is one of the biggest influences on my life and I always turn to her when I need advice. My family also has a huge influence on my life. I'm extremely close with my parents and they are there for me no matter what. My brother also has influenced me becuase, although we aren't as close as I'd like us to be, he is always there for me to talk to or have a good laugh with. I enjoy myself the most when I'm with my friends and I would do anything for them. Music plays a big role in my life because whenever I'm in a bad mood or stressed about something, music helps me relax.
Highschool has made me into the person I am. Over the 3 years, I've learned so much from my friends, my teachers, and my mistakes. Also, this summer I went to Hawaii for a month to do community service work. The 80 hours of service we did changed me. It gave me a different perspective on life. I realized that people need help and it's my job to help them. I got the oportunity to build a house for Habitat for Humanity. The family whose house we were building was also there helping to build their house. Hearing their story and why they needed their help gave me a better understanding of how people get into these less fortunate situations and gave me a better idea of how I could help them. We also went to the Ronald Mcdonald house to help sick kids and their families. We cleaned the rooms to make sure there so no chance of the kids getting more sick, we made meals for the families, we ate with the families, and we played with the sick children. The couldn't do anything about the situation they were in, but from us being there, it put a big smile on their faces and it momentarily stopped their worries. It also put a smile on my face to know that I was able to help someone who needed it out and I will remember this experience throughout my life time.
After highschool, my goal is to go to college, I don't know where, but I know that I want to work with kids. I work at a childcare center in a fitness club and I love interacting and learning more about the kids each day. I took sociology becuase I want to learn more about the way people think and why they do things. Hopefully, after this class I will be able to look at things in a different light and understand the way people think.
