With Mount Leadership Society Scholars, I have had the privilege of having service opportunities right at my finger tips. Throughout my freshman year, I got to engage in various short-term service opportunities every month and helped to create multiple service projects in February relating to global issues. Some of these included volunteering the Fall Harvest Jamboree, Mid-Ohio Foodbank, and numerous other institutions in Columbus. My second-year has been even more expansive and more rewarding; in my scholars program, I have planned to complete a minimum of 75 hours of service before March through the Ohio Leadership Institute and St. Stephen’s Community House.
In addition to my service engagement with Mount, my sorority has also provided unforgettable opportunities to fundraise for St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. From selling pancakes on the Wex Plaza to cheering on soccer teams to play for the kids, the charity has grown deep in my heart and I have had the blessing of promoting it in such a fun, memorable, rewarding way. Undoubtedly, I have grown to love serving others and giving back, and plan to continue my efforts both professionally and personally.
