Participating in the breast cancer walk was a truly inspiring experience. It was heartwarming to witness the strong support of so many young individuals coming together to raise awareness for such a vital cause, reaffirming the importance of community involvement in the fight against breast cancer.
I thoroughly enjoyed being a career ambassador this semester. Between tabling and working the pantry, it was a great opportunity to service our students.
With the midterm election coming up, it is important to encourage the younger generation to get out and vote. It’s been a struggle to get young people involved in politics, voting, and anything related to the matter. Whether they are experiencing barriers that are discouraging them from voting, not educated on what they should be voting on, or just feel as if their vote does not matter, it is keeping them from the polls. The outreach groups on the call spoke of great things they have been doing to engage with college students and educate them on legislation, ballots, and procedures of voting. I love that they have been truly educating them on what amendments and policies they are voting on, so they feel as if they belong at the polls.
I volunteered at The Samaritan House of Orangeburg for their annual chili cook off. I was trusted enough to be in charge of the in take process and handle the money. I enjoyed being with the community and meeting new people. I would volunteer there more.
The fireside chat with President Warmack and Congressman Ro Khanna was very insightful. I enjoyed the discussion of African American students who have the skills for the computer science field but aren't getting the opportunities.
For the month of April I spent six hours at the library. While there I kept record of all the patrons coming in and enforced Covid protocols.
