Service Reflection: DSWS Day of Service

On November 17th, 2018 I participated in the Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars Day of Service for 5 hours. I learned about this event through the DSWS weekly email. My group of volunteers went to the Columbus Dream Center to help set up for their Thanksgiving meal. During my time volunteering, I helped clean tables to prepare them for the meal, and we also walked around a nearby neighborhood handing out fliers to invite people to the event. As a result of this service, I learned that even when I am far away from home, I can help bring communities and the people around me closer together. This opportunity impacted me as a leader by reestablishing the importance of community in regards to improving the quality of work in a group and life in general. Because of service learning, I am now able to help many more people whether they be complete strangers or coworkers.
