COLE HAMILTON

This Thanksgiving break I was extremely lucky to be able to visit Bainbridge Island with my girlfriend who lives there and her father is the principle of Blakely Elementary. It was amazing to give back to a community in which has helped my girlfriend and given her parents so much! It was an amazing opportunity filled with helping make the campus look beautiful as the students were on their way for Thanksgiving break. I got to play with the students at recess and teach them some basketball as well as taking out the old dead plants that were planted in the summer and helped put in seeds for new ones! The day was also filled with cleaning up after recess as well as touching up on paint lines and reestablishing them. It felt really nice to be looked up too as the students were very excited to see someone older whom wasn't a teacher. As well as helping a community that has given so much to the people closest to me.
