I am doing Jumpstart because when I first applied to
American University I knew I wanted to be apart of a organization that makes a
difference. Considering all the clubs at AU it would be an easy task, during
orientation I walked up to the Jumpstart booth and I knew this was the first
organization I wanted to be apart of. Junior year I worked with 6th
graders as a volunteer art teacher and I loved it and this was something
similar but on a much larger scale. My excitement has only escalated to start
doing projects. Although it is a huge undertaking I look forward to working
with Stacia and all the other volunteers this year! ~Sophie Chen
I am doing
Jumpstart because I did it last year and it was a great experience. I feel like
it will be a lot different than last year due to the fact that I’ve been
through it and I am confident in my abilities. Now, I don’t have to worry about
learning the material. I am familiar with the curriculum and I can take it one
step further. I know what works and what does not work for me. I can focus
solely on the children and my team. Last year, I was concerned with finding the
right balance for myself. I was learning and it was a bit overwhelming at
times. Now, my expectations are different and it will all be about improving
the skills I gained from Jumpstart. I’m also excited about sharing my
experience with the new Corps Member and helping them find their way. I want
them to love Jumpstart as much as I do and I hope to play a role in that.

I am doing Jumpstart because I want to help children learn.
Working with kids inspires me to be a stronger person, and to pass on my
knowledge to the next generation. These children are our future and they need
to know how important they are, not only to themselves but to everyone around
them.
