On October 2nd, my friend Celina along with myself went to volunteer with the TOPS Soccer organization. TOPS Soccer is an organization that creates soccer teams for kids with physical or mental disabilities and they need the volunteers to play against these kids. Celina plays on my soccer team with me so we thought this would be a great opportunity to combine a sport we both love with helping others, which is always a good thing. We had a great time playing with these amazing kids and we could tell that we were bringing them so much joy by the smiles on their faces. We plan to continue to do this project a couple of times per year because we found so much enjoyment in it. It was also great for me to be able to have one of my best friends do a volunteer activity with me because it allowed me to not only help the members of my community, but share this experience with someone I care a lot about.
