For the past two Christmas holidays, my family and I have donated goods for other teenagers in need. Of course I knew that there were kids who lived in small apartments or were homeless but I never realized that they lacked basic necessities. It was shocking to see the 'wish list' of items from the school for families to purchase for my classmates. It included items like shampoo, soap, and toothbrushes - basic hygiene goods that I never even thought about because they were always available to me.
I started this foundation so that I can continue to support other teenagers behind the scenes. My idea is to collect donations and package them into a full set with shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, soap, toothpaste, and a toothbrush for donation. I'm still working out the logistics and the details. In addition, I have added a section for a Reflections blog, which will serve as a place where I can reflect on the events in my life and my thoughts for the rest of my high school years. I will look back and remember all of the ups and downs over the years that helped me to grow into the person I will become. This is my first entry.
