Paula discusses her experiences learning to cook desserts as a child and how it led her to volunteer her time helping others. She learned to make chocolate cake at age 10 and entered cooking competitions to raise money for children's books. Visiting disabled children she met through the competitions taught her the blessing of giving her time to help others. Over time, she expanded her volunteering to include visiting elderly grandparents along with her classmates. A simple chocolate cake changed her life by showing her the need to company others.
