"I joined Our Corner’s Youth Council because my love for the environment has recently flourished. I have always been passionate about the environment throughout my life but I thought that now that I’m in high school, I can do more for my community since I have the power to do that. I started helping out at Pensacola Mess Hall with volunteering and we saved a lot of paper and reused a bunch of stuff but I wanted more. I came to the Youth Council to see if I can help out anymore and have a bigger impact on Pensacola."

"I am passionate about the environment and just seeing a change in the community. I am very interested in the science field and in college, I hope to major in Biology. By joining Our Corner’s Youth Council, I want to make a difference in our community and make our city a better environment to live in. Taking on a new beautification project for our community and working with the people around me is something I am very excited about!"
