  29. 1) I feel that the Shopping Bag is a great idea that attracts suppliers and consumers from similar cultural backgrounds. It’s a place where many students can go whether they need clothes or they feel the need to give to others.
    2) I am most excited to go and visit the store to see what it has.
    3) How tough it is to join the team.
    4) I do not currently volunteer, but I used to be a part of a teen group named Jack & Jill of America from the 4th grade throughout High School and we did all sorts of community service with that program. We gave assistance to the elderly in old homes, picked up garbage around highways, rivers and lakes, and we also did some Thanksgiving meal shopping for families of less fortune. It was a good program and I would like to get back into doing community service.
    5) I actually would not mind working at the Shopping Bag. I have a lot of experience working retail and everything that comes with keeping the store in its best condition and, as I stated, I would love to get back into doing some community service.
