Im going to share what I did on Mitzvah Day with you! First of all,I cant remember exactly but a few eigth graders were in my group and so were some seventh and sixth graders.This was for the first few hours of my day.I drove with a teacher from our school in a car to our destination which was a preschool.

While there, I worked with one of the eigth graders and we were with 3 years olds.While vulunteering,it was really fun and the kids were adorable. I learned that I made a difference in thier day because they had smiles on their face and were happy and liked us! I would do this opportunity again because I mean who could say no to adorable 3 year olds and they are very entertaining! I would go either with my family or school to here.I growed as a person from this expierence because I used to not love little kids as much but now there adorable and I love them.

After that, we went to Chai Point(a senior home) and we ate lunch and got delicous candy!(Shhhhhhhhhhh dont tell my parents). Anyways when we were done with lunch I drove in a car with some of my classmates and one of my teachers. We drove to the VA medical center. If you dont know thats a home for veterans.

While there,we played bingo,trivia,and enjoyed their compnay for a little bit and had a good time! It felt very unique to help the veterans considering that they have served in our country to keep us safe and this is kind of our way of showing respect.I learned that there were multiple diffrent training camps in and out of the USA for the Veterans. I would probably only go back with family because my grandpa was a Veteran and it would be special to go with him and or my family. I grew from this experience because I used to be afraid of touching seniors but now they are just the same as everyone and its the same as touching anyone.

Overall this was a very fun day and I felt good at the end knowing that I had helped others!
