I love to volunteer, to give back. It makes me feel happy to know that I may be helping someone in need. Service is so important to be able to appreciate what you have. I love that on campus there are many opportunities for me to engage in. Just within the honors community, I was able to help out in the Office of Sustainability which was so amazing. My sorority volunteers each semester at the Ronald McDonald House of Richmond, where I get to help families by preparing different meals. This charity is for families that have children in local hospitals and need places to stay. Its small but at least these families no longer need to worry about what their next meal will be.
Providing help or donating my time to a worthy cause makes me feel like I could really make a good change in the world. I am hoping to continue to partner with the honors community and maybe even bring my own charities to our campus. I really enjoy Honors week each year because we can all work together and really make a difference wherever we volunteer.
