What made you want to join TAB and be a volunteer?<\/b><\/p>\n

I love to do community work. I\u2019ve enjoyed community work in Little Tokyo where I help children with disabilities, so I thought I\u2019d try community work in Pasadena.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your favorite volunteer project? Or what stood out the most?<\/b><\/p>\n

I liked helping out at Pasadena Loves YA, the teen book festival. It was hectic and busy and there were lots of people, but it was fun. It was my first time working at a big event like that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there a contribution you\u2019ve made that you\u2019re particularly proud of?<\/b><\/p>\n

I really like helping at Lucha Libros (Spanish immersion program from 2nd-3rd grade kids). I liked helping younger kids get excited about reading; it\u2019s cool to see so many kids coming to the library on a Tuesday night to do that. Because it was a smaller group, I got to know some of the kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you think compared to other teens you have a different understanding about what libraries represent?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes. Libraries are not just about books. There\u2019s lots of events, lots of opportunities such as volunteering and getting work experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What skills have you learned from volunteering at the library you think are most useful?<\/b><\/p>\n

Definitely planning organizing event skills, and now a bit of lesson planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you volunteer anywhere else?<\/b><\/p>\n

I volunteer at Kizuna Rising Stars, which is that youth leadership program in Little Tokyo. There are monthly activities, and I get to learn Japanese and more about my culture. They offer various leadership workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What college are you going to? \u00a0What career path are you aiming for?<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to UCR (University of California, Riverside). I think I\u2019ll be majoring in Pre-Business or Accounting.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you ready to get out there on your own? \u00a0Anything that makes you nervous?<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m ready. Nervous as much as anyone would starting college, but I\u2019m ready for the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n
