I want to start off with thanking Mrs. Carson and Ms. Evie for making this program so accessible and inclusive to everyone. It is their skills that make this program so special and full of community building. For the past three years being involved in the council, I’ve learned more about leadership and how to make an impact on my community in so many different ways, more than any other activity. Participating in a variety of community service events has not only helped build such an outstanding community where I can work together with my amazing peers on the council but has also shown me that I can make a difference and this is a real opportunity to improve Smyrna. We’ve gone from making an environmental impact to an impact on our senior citizens to an impact on those suffering from food scarcity and that shows the versatility of our organization and the utter respect that we have for providing aid to Smyrna in every way we can. I am so grateful for this program as it has given me the perfect platform to express my desire for helping people and that’s what we do and plan at every meeting. Every voice is heard and I’ve built such amazing relationships with the people involved. It is this attitude that has inspired me to start a website of my own based on community building and how to give back. Thank you so much for giving me this outlet to show my appreciation for this city and every person living in it, and I am thrilled to see the amazing things the council will achieve this year!
