On Wednesday, October 19, 2005, my Teenangel friend, Jenna, and I presented in front of 175 law enforcements about cyberbullying. During that time I felt a great amount of achievement. At that time, I knew I was doing something good and I was proud of myself for going in front of that many people and making a presentation that I didn't even prepare for. This experience has taken a step forward from what I wanted to accomplish since the beginning of last year. At first, all I wanted to do was some community service, but now I'm making a difference and helping others to make someone’s life safe. I thought doing a couple of hours of service would help me get into a good school, except now I figured that I can do much more and I can keep on going to achieve maybe even the things that I never dreamed about.

When the presentation was done, and people were congratulating me and Jenna, I thought, “Wow, they must have been really impressed”. However I wasn't so sure of myself since it was my first time. So I plan to do more activities on helping out with Teenangels to increase my skills of talking before a large group of people. Also, to keep on helping the children my age, older, and younger, realize the importance of safety on the Internet.
