The acts of a selfless volunteer

Many people volunteer to help their community or to make changes for the better of the
world. Not many look at small things people do around our campus. A lot of people do
volunteer activities or other kind acts to help but are never noticed for it. Junior Ademar
Reyes has selflessly helped out at leadership events and doing various coastal clean-
ups with ROTC over his three years at Armijo. Reyes’ favorite thing about volunteering
is being able to help the community out.

Reyes, dressed in a white polka-dot button-up with black skinny jeans and grey Vans,
paused in his busy schedule for an interview. He said that his favorite memory "was
digging up garbage while we cleaned a creek,” he said. “It was nice being surrounded
with people wanting to help the earth and community.” For the coastal clean-up,
volunteers went down to the creek area and grabbed all the trash, recycling what they
could to help out the environment.

“I started volunteering about four years ago,” Reyes said. “Once I got to Leadership,
they taught me that doing stuff for others is better than doing it for myself.” He went on
to explain that, as a community, people should take the time to help out and do clean-
ups or any volunteering activity to help our Fairfield-Suisun area. This would be a step
toward changing the world.
