When Grace and I got to the Staples Center, there were a lot of people checking in. All volunteers got t-shirts. We were assigned to a table and chose our station for the assembly line. We were stuffing school supplies such as paper, binders, notebooks, calculators, pens, and highlighters into bags that will be distributed to 5,000 teens in need.
Once we started, we were all fired up! Twenty minutes went by very quickly, and we had put together so many bags by then.
It was mostly kids working and they were all huge balls of energy. We met a lot of cool people and got to hang with a few familiar faces.

Honestly, the work we did was not hard at all. It was super easy to put supplies into a bag. But all the work we did is going to make a difference to over 5,000 teens who wouldn't be able to get those supplies themselves.
If you saw the Teen Choice Awards, DoSomething.org was everywhere. You can find out more on their website.
We encourage everyone to go out there and DO SOMETHING.
YOU can make a difference =]
