Why I got involved and what I have gained: Involvement has always been an important part of my life. For me, getting involved is not only rewarding but it is a way to make changes in your environment that you feel are necessary; it is a way for me to contribute to something larger than myself. By getting involved I have not only been able to experience new things but, also, gain valuable knowledge about leadership, responsibility and what is truly means to be a community. The amazing people I’ve met, the places I’ve been and the things I have yet to explore and share with others is something that only getting involved in my home and school campus community could bring.
