Copiague Middle School
How I Save People’s Lives
Here in my awesome school, we have a club called the Builders Club which is not what it may sound like. When you typically think of the word build, we associate it with constructing something, maybe out of wood, paper, or other things. What if I told you it was out of the kindness of mine, and my peer’s hearts; we help other people and could possibly save or improve their lives?
The Builders Club in Copiague Middle School is so influential and amazing! We have done fundraisers such as the Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach, we raised 2,501 dollars as of the walk (October 20, 2013). We raised more money after the walk as well. We have also done fundraisers such as a shoe drive. We donate shoes that we are not using anymore and they are donated through an organization called Give Your Sole, which cleans them up as much as they can, and then donates them to people in need. We take part in Toys for Tots as well, which is an awesome fundraiser, where we collect unused toys and donate them to children for the holidays. We have also done raised funds in the past for Autism Awareness and Down Syndrome Awareness. I love this club and I have so much fun inventing and creating new ideas with my peers to help others who are less fortunate.
Honestly, sometimes I get too overwhelmed with that feeling of being a humanitarian and I have a breaking point. It is just such an indescribable feeling of joy when you realize you have done something good for your community, or someone else. This is so inspiring for me because with this I can help someone by doing a simple thing. I can also influence other people to do the same thing and chip in where they can.
When the Builders Club participates in fundraisers, the money or items that we collect goes to someone in need. That person, either in our community, our state, our country, or even a foreign country, gets these items. Whether it is money, food, clothes, or other item, they can improve or potentially save someone’s life. This is absolutely outstanding.
I am so honored to be a part of this amazing club! It brings such joy to me and makes me feel special and amazing. I hope that every school can have a club like this to influence young people to impact and change someone else’s life. This is an amazing opportunity; I am so honored and blessed. This is definitely an awesome thing.
