Name: Sumaiya Hossain
Volunteer Since: Since 2005 with Vanderbuddies, but also volunteered my junior and senior years of high school.
What you do as a volunteer: Help students with homework
How I found out about the center: From my older brother and sister, who volunteered at CWA with Vanderbuddies
My favorite part about being a volunteer is… getting to spend time with the students. They're so much fun and I have a great time getting to know them while helping them with their homework.
My least favorite part about being a volunteer is… Being a volunteer is great, but I hate having to cancel or miss a week of volunteering at CWA if I have tests or something else come up.
My favorite memory is… hmm I have too many! But I guess one of my favorites is when I was in the computer lab with some of the middle school students and we spent the entire time on disney.com listening to High School Musical songs!
I would encourage someone else to take the leap and volunteer because… volunteering not only helps the student and the volunteer learn, but it's also really fun. Volunteering at CWA is especially fun because the students are awesome. They're really funny and smart and they make volunteering every week something I really look forward to!
