Hi, I’m Sharon Li and to be truthful, I do feel a little bit intimidated by all the other interns that are 3+ years older than me, because I’m only in 8^th grade. I read all these amazing essays on how much they have given to the world and it makes my organization look almost small in comparison. But I’m hoping that as the years pass and when I’m a junior or senior in high school, my project will grow bigger and more helpful to people all around the world. So what is my organization? We Care Act. This is a non-profit organization that was started a couple of years ago by my sister, brother, and me. Sure, it’s a disaster relief program, but there’s another cause in our mission. To inspire others. I won’t be content I only raise money and other items. But if I could get others to join, to believe, to care, and to realize their drive and what they want to do, then We Care Act can have done its part. So that’s why we have team leaders, who help raise money and raise awareness and recruit others to join.  Speaking of helping others, that’s what I’m driven foreword to do. I want to help more people and raise twice as much money as I did the year before. Also I wish to recruit more team leaders around the nation and apply (and hopefully get) more scholarships to support We Care Act. And those are just a couple from my long list of goals for this year. But if I want to add more scholarships, I have to work for it, and that’s exactly what I want to do by being an East Village Intern. I’m definitely going to need more than what I am and if I become more confident and have bigger and brighter ideas that I’m hoping will come out of this program I know I’ll be able to make a difference.
