Cassie is the kind of person who loves serving others. Most of her days revolve around service. Cassie loves helping students at her school and making meals for people in our neighborhood. Any member of the family knows what an amazingly selfless person Cassie is. I have seen her make one of the kids a grilled cheese sandwich at 11 o’clock at night or take them to the store when this is the last thing she wants to do. Cassie is an inspiration to me and many others.

There is another person who has a huge heart and loves to serve others, that is my Mom. As long as I can remember, when she knew someone new was moving into our neighborhood, my Mom would welcome families with fresh loaves of bread or vegetables from our garden. Year-round, my Mom would have parties and invite people whom she didn’t know or wanted to get to know better. By opening up her heart and home, she is loved by many because of her love in serving others. Both Cassie and my Mom have discovered true happiness comes through service.
