My second outside event is based on an African dance show that I attended with a few girls on my soccer team. I had decided to go because my professor from my dance class had recommended it.

recovering drug addict‚ had relapsed. That moment marked a huge transition in my life. It has been about 5 or 6 years since that fateful day‚ and I can personally say that having a parent that struggles with drug addiction is one of the most taxing experiences anyone can live through.

My experiences serving others have exposed me to the issues my community faces and have shown me that I can make a difference.

My experience at the nursing was definitely a different one. When I first arrived there I was extremely nervous. I had never been to a nursing home or rehabilitation center before and didn’t really know what to expect but that there would be older people just sitting around not doing much. But to my surprise not everyone there was old and the older people that were there didn’t only just sit around all day. After getting over the initial fear of the Rehab center‚ I was ready to meet my client. My

I remember how when I first walked into a fraternity house on Vanderbilt’s campus‚ I immediately thought that this was a place that I could never belong. Having a disability and identifying as gay‚ I thought that I had somehow faked my way into Vanderbilt and its perfect society.

As I have become more involved in the Vanderbilt community‚ I have always looked
