Rise Mission and Vision
R: How I gave back was giving back to the community. What I did was I volunteered to do community service from my church and I help out people in need. In Fresno, there are a lot of poor people so I help them out and also evangelize and help them become Christian (my religion).
I: I have changed myself in this RKMS school year by trying to accomplish my goals as fast I can and try to get everything over with so that I don't need to worry about it later on. Something new I tried this year was to constantly do Study Island and read so that I could easily finish my goals. Another new thing I tried to do this year is to keep my grades up and try harder on thing that are worth a lot of points in the gradebook. Finally, I did extra credit work so I can had a good CCA.
S: I have made a positive change to the school by trying to be a good influence to the younger kids at my school. Also, I try to make my friends do their work so that more people would start getting higher grades and more people would pass the grade.
E: I am improving as a person through education because I am becoming more and more educated and wanting to help other people with what they do not know.

Community Service
To go to the EOTYLEL we have to complete a set of goals. Community service was one of the goals we had to accomplish to go the trip. For the community service, we had to get 20 hours or more. I have completed 91 hours of community service by doing community service at church.
The community service I chose to do to go to the EOTYLEL trip was to go to Fresno almost every month of the year and teach the Hmong people about God and Christianity. I go to Fresno with my church and we evangelize there to spread the word of God. I decided to do this community service because I wanted to teach people more about my religion and so that people will believe that God is real and there for us when we need him. Also, I wanted to help the Hmong people out because they live in poor neighborhoods, so I wanted to do something good for them and give them good food.
By doing this I learned to socialize with people that I didn’t really know and it also taught me to sacrifice my Saturdays to spread the word of God in many different ways like praising with them, evangelizing, having skits, puppet shows, and more. Also, it taught me more about how to take care of the kids and understand them and their lifestyle better at the one day outreach. Lastly, it taught me more about God, the bible, and things I did not learn when I went to church.
Since I am doing this not for myself and for the Hmong people, I think the Hmong community changed. The first time my church went to Fresno, not a lot of people showed up to the event, but as time passed more and more people started to come. This shows that our church going to spread the word of God impacted the community in a good way so that more people will believe and become Christians. Since Fresno is a poor place, my church gave the kids that came to the outreach goods that would help them at home and outside of home like clothes, shoes, toys, etc.
In the future, I think I can support the community by making this world a better place. To do this, I will help people who do bad things like steal, murder, etc know about the Bible and God and by learning about these things, they will stop doing the bad things. Also, since I will be better at socializing and taking care of people by understanding them, I can help the patients in the hospital by talking to them and communicating with them about their feelings. Also, I can be a counselor and to do all of these, I will probably need to go to college. Education would play a huge role on all of these things because without education, I wouldn’t be able to work as these people I would want to be. Also, if I needed to know how someone felt, I would know a lot of descriptive words because of the education that I had before. Without education, I wouldn’t be able to achieve my goals of trying to help out the community to become a better place.
