VITA Breakfast!!

So this morning I attended the welcome Breakfast for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance(VITA). It was really cool. Well at first I felt kind off out of place because most people there were mostly old. But then some of them introduced themselves to me I felt more comfortable and started to get exited as the first speaker began to talk. Then as they were explaining more about the program I realized that I had made the right decision when I signed up to volunteer in this program. At first I signed up just because I thought the experience I gained from it would help me in what I want to do after I graduate. As of now I am even more sure that it will definitely help me tons in the future. But what got me most exited was all the stories they told about all the people they have helped and how rewarding the feeling of their thanks is, that really made glad I was in for the adventure. Then this coordinator comes sit by and just confirms that I will never regret this experience and all just makes me the more anxious. Also something very important and that caught my attention form the program is the fact that they are setting up a new sight at the St.Joseph and Paul Catholic Church which is the one I go to. and this site is specially being put up for the Hispanic community, and I'm really glad about this because I will be able to help those who don't know English and I'll be able to help them out with everything I can not only with filling their taxes but also I will be there to translate for them which is something I really enjoy. So I'm really looking forward to the training on January 8th and then to all the actual days we will be filling taxes!!
