As a child, I was alarmed to see so many kids without books to read or the means to properly accessing books. When I went to the shelter, I could see that so much help was needed. My favorite memory of scouting was making a bookcase for the homeless shelter through the Salvation Army. Although I had to originally use a first aid kit because of the bugs outside, I am so grateful that I now know how to help someone through a medical emergency or find them the help they need. I was taught life skills like the proper use of a First Aid Kit for when someone is injured. Just like any other scout, I learned how to complete merit badges, how to pitch a tent and go camping in the wilderness without technology through scouting. Scouting has opened up opportunities for me to explore academically, spiritually, professionally and personally. In November 2016, I became an Eagle Scout, a journey that served as pivotal in shaping who I am today. I owe this identity to my scouting experiences, starting from when I was a young boy.
