I’ve signed up with StandUp4Kids.org, a non-profit organization that helps homeless and runaway teens. They have offices throughout the country and it’s a really great organization to be a part of if you want to make a positive impact in the lives of teens who really need someone to care. I’ve completed my first round of training and have two more levels to go through. I’m really excited about the process and can’t wait to get more involved with the organization.

Based on someone’s posted suggestion, I signed up for Pen Pal International and now I’m waiting to see if I get any response. I will probably give it a week or so and then I’ll start reaching out myself. I’m hoping to find a Spanish speaking pen pal so that I can improve my Spanish and maybe in turn, help them improve their English. Either way, I’m very excited!
