S: Service Engagement

Since I was 15 years old, I have coached gymnastics for Westerville Special Olympics. This year, I am proud to say I continued that in order to reach my 20 hours of service for Health Sciences Scholars. While coaching, I help athletes with various physical and intellectual disabilities push themselves to achieve their personal goals in gymnastics. This experience has been so rewarding to me and I plan on continuing to coach for many years. Coaching Special Olympics has been about so much more than just getting service hours for me and I will always be grateful I have had the opportunity to be involved with this for so long.
