During our orientation last Friday we met with the Marine Science Institute and we talked about our engagement with the Ravenswood School fourth graders. I am very excited to be helping kids because they each have their own personality and are still very eager to learn which makes it fun and interesting. One Hallmark that is relevant to this is number four which is us committing ourselves to community service. This specific Hallmark is also relevant to me because I think its important to be able to help others and its also something I value as a person. Community service has always been a big part of my life and how I grew up. Its important to me because its not only helping your community but it also helps you grow as an individual and understand people and makes you see things in different ways.
