On August 29th, my roommates and I volunteered with our Biological Science scholars group at Wesley Glen nursing home. We played bingo and entertained the residents during their night of fun. It was a wonderful experience that showed me that even just by giving some of my time for one evening, I can brighten someone else’s day. So often just being kind to those around you is something that gets taken for granted during our busy lives. During this opportunity, I was given the chance to make others happy by engaging in conversation and taking an interest in their lives. Life is too short not to reach out to others and listen to one another. I am very fortunate to have had this experience. It serves as a reminder to me to spread joy wherever I go.
