what is your dream?

the dream share project

In the dreary month of February, when the sun doesn’t fully shine, cold snow covers the ground, and exams seem to all fall in the same week, my residents and I were challenged to think about our dreams. It wasn’t just thinking about our dreams, it was learning about how to get there. And not […]

perserving a legacy

The organizers of the MLK Challenge assigned each group a random service event, and my group was chosen to gather supplies for Life Line, which provided services to women with unplanned pregnancies. Originally, we planned to set up a table outside of a few local businesses, but they all turned us down. Therefore, we decided […]

small acts, big impact

On Monday, January 21st, 2013 I was blessed with the opportunity to be one of 200 students at our school that gathered to spend a day full of service in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. This has been one of my favorite service events that I have been a part of since being […]

humbling service

Twin Pines was a truly humbling experience. You don’t truly realize what you have until you’ve been there. It helped me to see that I have been given so much, and so I must use those talents to help others. -Scott

a trip to twin pines

Last year I “adopted” a grandparent at Twin Pines Adult Care Center. I visited him almost every Saturday for five months. Summer quickly came in the way, as I had to head home, but I didn’t forget about him.  This weekend we were finally reunited. When I walked in to his room he remembered me […]

service is what you make it!

One of the adult volunteers mentioned that food service was not meant to be fun…Boy did we prove her wrong! Pinterest, Oscars, Fish’n Chips, Big Birds..These are just a few of the names we came up with for the food we served. I would do it again in a heart beat!   -Scott
