For the service engagement component of the G.O.A.L. acronym I am involved in multiple service driven organizations. This is my first year being involved in the Autism Speaks U chapter here at Ohio State. Today, November 12th 2018, myself and other students from Autism Speaks volunteered at Oakstone Academy, a special needs elementary school in Westerville, Ohio. While we were only there for a brief 2 hours, our time spent with the kindergarteners flew by in a blur. In the spirit of Thanksgiving coming up, four other students and I read multiple books to the 16 children in the classroom and we followed with discussions of Thanksgiving food and what we are thankful for this season. We also facilitated making hand-turkeys with the kindergarteners. I had such a fun time and it reminded me that serving the community (through these kids) can be fun too!
