Things I have Learned about my Mom while Volunteering with YMSL 

Things I have learned about my mom while volunteering with YMSL is that she has an undying need to see me NOT sleep on my days off from school & work. She believes that I will grow in ways that I still don’t yet understand through being a part of this organization and that through serving others & going to meetings, I will expand myself in ways I won’t even know until I’m older. I am normally interested in helping others, but she feels that I also need to learn other skills like communicating on a monthly basis at leadership type meetings with people I don’t ever see outside of these times. She tells me that in the future I will thank her for this time we spend together but in reality I already appreciate how she tries to get me to be the best person I can be. It’s been fun working with her at places I wouldn’t normally even know exist.
     I learned that while my mom came from the same places that many of these people we help come from, she has overcome many obstacles that I will  never even experience in my lifetime. I learn over & over again how proud I am of her and how much she loves me. Thanks YMSL for helping me know my mom better and for giving me opportunities to serve in our community.
