A- Many of my courses now are Sociology and Public Health, so I am studying how people interact and the growing problems around the world. These courses will help me with my career aspirations because I plan to chase a career in nonprofit and social work in order to help others out. I will learn about the current issues facing the world and the different point of the views on each topic. My curriculum shows an commitment to excellence because I am gaining knowledge I can use in my career and information that applies to the world today.

L- As an intern with the Red Cross, is it my duty to be a leader at the blood drives, ensuring that the drives meets the desired goal and everything runs smoothly. I coordinate the tasks the volunteers perform and decide what to do when a problem occurs. I am also responsible for the set up and cleanup of the drive.

S- I am volunteering at the Wexner James Cancer Hospital. My job is to come in contact with patients and provide them with  with donations to cheer up their day.  I plan to continue this volunteering so I can make an continuous impact in the patient’s lives.
