Why is it important to help in the community?
Ever since I can remember I always watched my Dad as we were growing up. He would work all day and even after his full time job he did part time work and still managed to get involved in the community. He was my example that even the littlest things help out. He would say it makes the world of difference, especially when you accomplish something you feel better about it. You have to look into the future. He helped start building a park we are now all enjoying. They have a lot of different activities going on all the time.
I helped accomplish building a bigger and better church because of our Hispanic population in our community. So many new people were coming into our community that something had to be done. Having a place to practice their faith and traditions would surely help keep them here and also make us honorable people. This helps make Tyson a better place to work. I also try to do all I can to help out with the Cancer Society and Diabetes Association because it has hit so close to home, and every little bit we do can maybe help someone else.
