On October 21st, 2018 I volunteered at the Columbus Marathon for 5 hours. I found out about this opportunity through the Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars weekly email and decided that it would be a fun place to volunteer for a good cause. During the five hours, I helped set up tables and filled cups with Gatorade. Later I handed out cups to runners as they passed by mile marker 17.3. After the runners had passed I then helped with the cleanup of the leftover water and putting away the tables. Even though I don’t have the endurance to run a marathon, it felt good to be able to help the people who were running to raise money for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Through this work, I realized that even if I can not directly work towards helping a great cause, I am still able to help and support the people who can. This new outlook will help me as a leader because it will allow me to better support the people I am working with when they are the only ones that can reach their personal goals. Because of service learning I am better able to work with and support the people around me.
