What Scholars in Service Means to Me

I had always done service growing up and this was something I knew I wanted to continue while at college. I feel like it is really important to leave the world a better place than it was found, so I was eager to get involved in service on campus. I also had an older brother who was in the Bonner Leaders Program, and he encouraged me to apply for one of the volunteering programs!

Memorable Moment in Scholars in Service

I frequently go to Cradles to Crayons, and it is usually a smaller group of us who go and it always a blast! It’s also a tradition that we go to Taco Bell after every session for ‘Taco Tuesday’! Cradles to Crayons is something I look forward to every week for both the service aspect, but also getting to have fun bonding time with other Bonners and Scholars!
