Impacting Your Community

Well it is back to school again and I'm not going to lie I am pretty excited. It was a long holiday break and for me, it was intense.

I coach a 7th grade basketball team for my hometown of Canton. It is a travel team and is very competitive. We are now 5 - 2, beating two second place teams, moving us up to to tie for 1st. As a coach I don't really care so much for wins and losses but more to see the progression of the players and as a team.

Giving back to the community is very rewarding and so much fun. My new years resolution is to give back more than I gave back last year. This semester NSBE is organizing a Solar Car Design Project where memebers will be working with middle school students from the Boston area.

The way I see it, as college students we are already in a good position to be successful, why not give a hand or direction to those who want to be as well.
