I absolutely loved being a site leader for WDoS at Community Forklift. Not only did I get to facilitate conversation about service and DC as a whole, but I got to meet some amazing people who are very passionate about what they do.

I spent 13 hours (and 5 hours before that setting up for the event), at GW Dance Marathon raising money for the kids at the Children's Miracle Network Hospital in DC. I am a part of the DM Planning team, so I've been preparing for this fundraising event since August. Over the past 6 months, I've raised $1,055 for DM. Seeing all of the miracle kids was so special, and really gave me a new perspective on why we work so hard all year for this event. Probably my favorite day of freshman year so far.
