I have served my community in several different ways. I earned my Girl Scout Gold Award in 2018, which required the completion of at least 80 hours toward a community service project I developed by myself. I tutored children at a local elementary school with my high school’s National Honors Society chapter during my last two years of high school. Since attending Ohio State I have continued to serve the community. I joined the John Glenn Civic Leadership Community which includes a service aspect. I was chosen to serve as a Chief of Staff for the Ohio State Model United Nations Conference that is held for local high school students. For this position I volunteered my time to organize and run a successful conference for high school model United Nations delegates. I volunteered for my local NAACP chapter in the summer of 2020. I also serve as a mentor for freshman and incoming students in the Collegiate Council on World Affairs (CCWA) and the John Glenn College.
I think the main way I will try to serve the community in the near future is to avoid contracting COVID-19. The pandemic is harming so many people that the best way to serve the community right now is to wear a mask, social distance, and not contract COVID-19. I also plan to continue protesting, advocating, researching, donating, and volunteering for causes and organizations that I believe are beneficial to society and create a more equal society. I will also continue to mentor new students in CCWA and the John Glenn College.
