Not feeling that I could commit a great deal of time, I decided to volunteer two afternoons a week with a creative writing program at Lincoln Elementary school. That was four years ago, and now as a senior, I run a tutoring program at Lincoln. I never imagined what a significant role the decision I made freshman year would play in my life.

- Grading the government: One person's view On the outside, looking back (HELENA PAYNE Assistant News Editor)
