John's Key to Awesomeness: John likes to spend his summer vacations helping others instead of just hanging around with friends. John joins every summer on a mission trip to Nashville. While there, John helps with an organization called The Bridge Ministry. The group provides a Tuesday evening church service and dinner for the homeless. John helps with the setup and breakdown of the service along with two other kids his age. In his downtime in Nashville, he helps with a Christian-based camp for children at the Inglewood Community Center teaching guitar lessons. John also plans to join the Friends Club at Cherokee High School, a group that helps special needs students with their classes. John is an all around Whiz Kid always wanting to help others.
