During our community service at the church garden, I worked alongside my fellow Aggies to harvest mustard greens, collard greens, and cabbages.

Helping welcome runners and get race day started was such a rewarding experience because I was able to play a key role in creating a positive and organized environment from the very beginning. Assisting with registration, packet pickup, and checking in participants taught me how to stay efficient, detail-oriented, and welcoming under pressure, especially when managing bib assignments and distributing materials.

Handing out medals allowed me to share in their excitement and sense of achievement, making the entire experience feel full-circle and impactful.

At this event, I wrote 4 thank-you cards to the Honors College faculty to express appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

The experience was rewarding because I saw how something as simple as baking and serving desserts could bring people together to support women in the community
