What have you gained by participating in The Congressional Award?

Pursuing The Congressional Award has inspired me to keep working in my community and other communities around the globe. Helping different people and groups made me feel proud and happy. It was cool seeing how much simple actions made people happy, and how much it truly meant to them. One of the best parts of The Congressional Award was learning about different people and their lives and experiences. I made a lot of connections, and it helped me grow as a person and grow in my goals for my future.
