I teamed up with my high school, Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School's SkillsUSA Community Service Team "Together We Can" to attend Boston Children's Hospital. The advisor, Mrs. RoseMary Quirk, two team members, Erica Poirier and Beth Belanger, and myself all went to spend the afternoon at the Children's Hospital in Boston Massachusetts. Prior to doing so, the community service team, had been busy selling "cancer awareness" bracelets, planning fundraisers, events, and scholarships, and collecting books. They have been doing a phenomenal job reaching out to the community to support cancer awareness and cancer research. The team raised over 450 children's books for the oncology department. As an ambassador for their message, they asked me to bring the books with them to present it to the Children's Hospital. I was honored to be a part of that afternoon. When we arrived to the Children's Hospital, I actually was fortunate enough to bump into a few individuals that I had been acquainted with at the Special Olympics Winter Games. I was also introduced to several young children who were suffering from Leukemia. I tried to do my best to put a smile on their faces. One young man, who was only four, had been undergoing treatment for several weeks. When he asked to take a picture with me I looked at him and said "Never stop believing. Keep Dreaming, and dream big." He just smiled and gave me a hug. It was so great to see what the community service team does and be a part of it. I understand why they are so passionate about their topic for the year. It is something I too am passionate about. I feel so blessed to be able to spread their message, "together we can." I am so very proud of the entire Community Service team. It is so wonderful to see people who want to reach out to the community and give back in every way they can. That afternoon was touching and I was so happy to be a part of it. Best of luck to the Community Service Team- you really are making a difference everyday!
