My favorite project that I have participated so for in my freshman year at Ohio State was the first service project called Community Commitment. During this project I was able to get to know some of my classmates in ACES and also get to know the surrounding community of Ohio State’s campus. I was assigned to a non-profit that focused on helping the elderly in the Columbus area. My group and I were taken to an elderly women’s home and we helped her by cleaning up her yard. I was able to bond with my roommate, Morgan, and other classmates in ACES while weeding for someone who needed our help. It was really rewarding when the owner of the house came out and saw all the work that we did. She was really grateful for the help and was really sweet! I also was taken to a community garden. I really enjoyed seeing new opportunities of where I can volunteer in the future to benefit the communities surrounding Ohio State!
