#vol

Everywhere you look, there is a charity or a project in school to get involved in. In eighth grade, there was this program called CJSF, California Junior Scholarship Foundation. We were involved in soup kitchens and toy drives, and your school can set up something like that. If your school doesn't have a program like that, set one up. ↗

Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families. ↗
