During my time volunteering at the Peninsula Bridge Program I learned that I enjoy working with children. I also find it incredibly rewarding to help children who come from underprivileged communities. I think the reason is because I saw myself in many of the children. The majority came from the same school district that I was part of in middle school and they lived in the same area that I do. I knew going into the program that many of the students were coming from under resourced schools and for that reason I was even more encouraged to help. I believe that my time as a volunteer at Peninsula Bridge had a positive impact on the students. I made strong personal connections with the students in the group that mentored. I noticed they became more confident in themselves throughout the program and seemed more excited for their upcoming years of education.
