What have you gained by participating in The Congressional Award?
The Congressional Award has given me a different outlook on life, focusing on what I can give, rather than what I can get. I learned that because I am fortunate to have the opportunity to help others, it is necessary that I do so, because not everyone is as lucky as I am. I have also gained a greater compassion for the people of my community that I have been able to interact with through service, making connections I would not have otherwise had.
