Interview with Isaac Jenson

My questions are in bold

Tell me about your hobby/activities you're involved.

My favorite hobbies for me would include sports. Almost any kind of sport. My favorite to play would be basketball, then football, then third would be badminton. To watch, hockey would be my favorite. A close second would be football and then baseball after that. I am also involved in the church. Every Sunday night I volunteer and help at the Youth Group at our church, helping out the Youth Director, playing and just hanging out with all of the kids that come.

Can you tell me more about the volunteer work that you do? How long have you been doing it, what activities you do with the children, what church you do this volunteer work at, etc.

I volunteer at United Methodist Church in Princeton. A lot of the times I just sit with the kids and talk with them. I lead the small groups in the weekly conversation. I play the games with them and just be there. The Youth Director at our church is only 23 and I'm 20, so it is really nice for the junior and senior high youth to have a some people around their age, but older to talk about school, life and their spiritual life too. Its a blast.

How has this impacted your life? What is the best moment you have ever had with getting involved in the church? Who introduced and instructed you to working with the kids? Why did you get started with getting involved? What is the biggest challenge for you and the easiest? Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your hobby that

might surprise or interests us?

This has greatly helped my life in a positive way. I have grown a lot spiritually. The best moment I have had was this summer when we went to South Dakota for our Summer Service Trip. We had a blast helping people fix up their houses and playing with the kids. One day the Youth Director called me up when he got the job and asked if I wanted to help out the Youth Group. It was weird because I was trying to think of a way to get involved in the church. The hardest thing of helping is getting some kids to pay attention and get serious in those times that need to be quiet and serious. The easiest thing was to hang out and talk with the kids. I am really a laid back person so it fits my lifestyle perfect.
