This year I was a part of a student organization called Blueprints For Pangaea. Our goal is to collect unused medical supplies that would normally get thrown away, and send them overseas to countries in need. However this year did not really go as planned. We did not have many members that attended meetings and we needed to fundraise to afford a storage unit for supplies. I set up a fundraiser at a local Chipotle and a few other fundraisers were set up as well. Sadly, none were very successful, and we did not earn enough do accomplish any goals for the year. However, I don’t think of this as a failure. I think it is an opportunity for growth. Next year, I am taking on a bigger role in the group as Director of Sustainability and I see this as chance for us to regrow and learn from our mistakes. This is still a new organization at OSU and it may take a few ups and downs to get it to become successful. I am looking forward to taking on the challenge of getting it up and running again.
