Another way I help my community is to report on the news. Reporting the news helps to inform my community about events that could improve their lives and their overall well-being. In high school, I have been co-hosting my own radio program called “Jake Talks,” which informs local Jewish teens about everything in the world news. This experience then led me to become a broadcaster for a local high school sports network called “MSG Varsity”. Through this experience, I have interviewed nationally known sports celebrities such as Amani Toomer and Roman Oben. I also got the chance to interview ESPN sideline reporter Kelli Tennant and former New York Knicks play-by-play broadcaster Jimmy Cavallo. Also, I got to interview the full YES network Crew. I have dedicated most of my free time to serving my community. I ride the ambulance almost every weekend and have been voted Captain of New City Ambulance Corps Youth Corps. As the Captain I run weekly drills and control the riding schedule. When I attended a DWI drill, I saw our local fire department, and I knew right there that I also had to join the local firehouse. I joined the firehouse and started to learn about firefighting. I had to take the NYS Firefighter 1 course. In Firefighter 1 I learned how to put a fire out and how to find people in a house.
