Even though I had volunteered in many ways, I wanted something unique for my Eagle project. When the Hallam Tornado disaster occurred, and the town lost everything, there was no doubt in my mind that I needed to step forward. My family then had an opportunity to visit the tornado sight and assist in any way possible. It is truly amazing to me how life can change in seconds, in a blink of an eye! The visions that I saw there, gave me the strength to go ahead, and undertake this huge project. I was only fourteen when I completed this project.

I have strengthened my community in three key ways, through my involvement in school, volunteering in the community, and passing the importance of volunteering on to the younger scouts. The improvement of my leadership skills, and character base, has assisted me in aiding many endeavors that I get involved with at school, and community, including; many DECA based projects, that I am involved with, and as the one of the captains of football and baseball teams. The Hallam community is rebuilt now, including the Hallam Church. Hallam is a small town of a little over 500 people.
