I have found a way that my experiences and abilities can be used to benefit others; I volunteered for ANTSHE service. At first I started small by being a member and attending conferences. I got involved at my school with our non-traditional student group. After graduation, I became a board member and helped develop the scholarship program for ANTSHE. For me, there is a sense of satisfaction in using my talents and the lessons learned along the way to help others avoid difficulty or to let them know it can be done. I am sure that most of you have had your own unique experiences, and have discovered great abilities within yourself that you didn’t know you had. There is no time like the present to put these to use.
