I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 18 during my freshman year at UCLA. I refused to accept it - and I hid it from my coaches and teammates. But ignoring my problem didn't make it go away.

I might attempt Zumba. I haven't yet, but I thought it would be a lot of fun and different.

I'm not shy. I'm modest, but I'm very outgoing.

Getting started as a volunteer anywhere can be a challenge to a lot of people. The biggest hurdle is that people think they have to give all of their spare time. But if you only have a half hour, you can still make a difference. Assisting with small tasks is invaluable.

My passion for giving is no different than yours. I give because it's in my heart to give. I give because I was taught to give at a very early age. This is how I developed my passion for giving.

Even if the person doesn't know what the internet can do, we can bring it to them and show how it can make a difference in their lives.

I'm a realist and I always have been.
