Through extensive service in the name of our community, both National Honor Society and Tennis are greatly impacted by the work they are doing in Bardstown and Nelson County. By exposing all of us to these opportunities to help the people around us, everyone in our extracurriculars has been positively transformed. As with the Angel Tree initiative, helping others in need not only provided a joyful heart to the people receiving the assistance, but also instilled true Christmas spirit in the hearts of the students giving out of their own hearts to make someone else's holiday season a little bit better. Also, simply providing a positive environment for the students to be in, such as regular meetings and meaningful discussions, the students are given the opportunity to connect with each other and not just benefit NHS or Tennis, but also help each other and become a more caring person to themselves and others.
As much work and effort has been put into Semester One, there is always more that can be done. Personally, I hope to collaborate with my community partner more and work with him to settle a date that will work for both of us; this includes not only serving in the church, but also increasing the visual appeal of it through landscaping, painting, and cleaning. I also hope to greatly focus on philanthropies with National Honor Society next semester. By increasing the service opportunities we have, we will not only be able to fulfill National Honor Society's mission, but the Tennis Team will also be able to do more than simply enhance their skills. They will be making an impact in their community that will last long after many of the students have graduated and moved on with their Future Stories.
