Service Engagement

As a freshman at Ohio State, I have a lot of opportunities to participate in different service clubs and activities. One of the clubs that I recently joined is called Autism Speaks. Although I am fairly new, I had my first service opportunity with the club today, at the Autism Speaks Walk. We raised money by selling tee shirts and raised awareness for people in our community who have autism. I look forward to continuing to work with this club and fighting against the discrimination that people with disabilities face every day.

Artifact 1

My first artifact is the Pillars Film Project that I completed for the Advocates for Communities and Education Scholars class. In this project, my group and I were assigned a movie to watch. After we watched the movie, we related it to the four pillars of ACES: positive social change, advocacy, community, and service. I watched the movie Lost for Life, and it was about juveniles who murdered someone and were sentenced to life in prison without parole. This movie and project opened my eyes to both sides of a situation like this.
