Though campus organization allowed me to contribute to both campus and the surrounding community through student government, Relay for Life, and similar events, I always felt like a visitor.

Nope, they don’t make keys, it was the first thing I asked too, a teacher told me to do it, that it was going to look fantastic in the report records and who knows what else. Turns out I enjoyed helping others, I know, it surprised me too. One of the events that got stuck in my mind was Relay for Life, which it’s like a party, but not really, more a simile of celebrating
