I have always wanted to help people in need, especially children. However, when I was in high school, I was too shy to participate in any community events. When I got to university I knew that had to change. I threw myself into as many communities as I could. My confidence grew almost instantly. Now I feel great about myself and am finally able to make difference. Last year I became the president of the UNICEF club at York and with hard work we were able to grow our membership from 100 to 1000 members and raised over $2000 for UNICEF Canada; which earned us club of the year at York. These experiences have changed me for the better.
There are so many great opportunities at York. When walking through the hallways, open your eyes to what goes around campus and don't be shy to ask questions!!
