First Philanthropy

Today I went to my very first Sigma Kappa Philanthropy event. Our chapter held a co-ed soccer tournament to raise money for one of our five philanthropies - Main Seacoast Mission. Our sorority was founded in Maine and thus it is held as one of Sigma Kappa's national Philanthropies. Maine Seacoast Mission provides community resources across the state of Maine. I had the opportunity to volunteer at the tournament and it was a blast. I cheered on the teams and spent time with my sisters. It was amazing to see the support of fellow Panhellenic members as well as other ETSU student organizations. During the games we sold snacks, and after the game I was responsible for helping to pick up trash. This event raised a lot of money for a very worth cause. It was great to be apart of my community today and know that others were being helped in the process.

I need to be more kind and gentle with myself so I can grow and learn to handle situations with more control. I can be in control of my feelings. Through this and reading the book The Road Back to You,  I realized I am a four on the Enneagram. I thought I was a two because I have a helpful nature, then a three because I HATE for peo...

GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS! 14/30 hours

Blood Drive

10/2 I donated blood during the homecoming blood drive this week and it felt incredible to be able to serve my community. I always get slightly nervous around needles, but I only got slightly lightheaded at the end. The process only took about 1 hour and I helped save 3 lives! 4/25 hours
