Community Involvement: “Since middle school, I have been involved in service to my community. My most recent volunteer projects are: Project Helping, Meals on Wheels, Project Angel Heart, Feeding Denver’s Hungry and Tap Assistant Teacher at Arvada Center.
Why is Community involvement important? Guerrero adds, “It is important because in everyday life especially nowadays with technology, people can be so focused on themselves that they lose sight of connecting with others. Being involved with community helps people serve others and connect to people who can at times be forgotten by society like the elderly. Working is important so they have other role models and interactions in their lives other than just playing on technology.”
If I could improve the world I would…
“…. protect everyone from gun violence.”
