Monday 04/17/2017 my friend Rachel asked me for a favor on behalf of her professor Dr. Dena Kniess for a multicultural course for graduate students. To be a part of a panel discussion on Arab students. Rachel asked me to talk about my experience as an Arab student at EIU and told me a bit about what I should expect from the students. At first‚ between me and myself I was a bit afraid and nervous. I was going to say “sorry Rachel‚ I can’t make it”. But then‚ I’m like “no I’ll make it‚ it’s definitely

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. After a few months‚ I ended up feeling like I belonged at Vanderbilt more and I began to realize that there is no "perfect" Vanderbilt student. As I have become more involved in the Vanderbilt community‚ I have always looked

My experiences serving others have exposed me to the issues my community faces and have shown me that I can make a difference. My first experience working with underserved populations in my community was serving food at Union Station Homeless Services’ Thanksgiving Dinner in the Park in high school.

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

However‚ my experiences as a Resident Assistant (RA) make me confident in my ability to adapt to these challenges and thrive in the CLS environment. Being an RA is a time intensive role‚ as it requires constant daily interaction with residents‚ and the ability to immediately respond to crises that arise within the residence halls.
