About Richard Paul Davis...
Hometown: Charleston, S.C.

Expected Graduation: May 2008
Community Service (current and past): Walk for Life (coordinator for Kings Bay, Georgia), volunteer for Little League assistant coach in football and soccer
What has been your most memorable volunteer experience? When I look in the eyes of the little kids I coach I am rewarded every time.
What has been your proudest moment as a volunteer? After a soccer game we won, one of the kids came up to me, gave me a hug and told me: "Mr. Davis, we couldn't have done it without you!"
What do you enjoy about community service? I enjoy helping the little kids making something out of their lives. I think the fact that they are doing sports instead of sitting around playing video games sets a good foundation for later life and makes me proud.
What have you learned about yourself through volunteering? I found my future career field. I would have never thought that I could work with children, but coaching Little League showed me that it can be fun and is very rewarding. I want to become a teacher now.
How do you think your friends or co-workers would describe you? They would describe me as friendly, outgoing and fun.
What would you tell someone who is thinking about volunteering? I would definitely tell everybody to volunteer for whatever cause. It is rewarding to know that you have actually done something with your life just by helping someone.
