Doing more to me does not only mean being selfless in the acts of service but also bringing change to your community. I know that whatever the circumstances I am placed in, I always push myself out of my comfort zone to get involved with others in my community to learn more about what needs have yet to be addressed and how we can bring a unity to the community. To do more isn’t simply to do something that can be done easily overnight--it takes time, dedication, and resilience to promote awareness and create a lasting impact. To do more means to never give up no matter how long it takes and to always find a way to improve the circumstances whether it requires to change your approach or think outside the box. Being a leader in the time of change means learning from past mistakes and being adaptable and creative.
