Hellooooo :)

Hi guys, I can't wait to meet all of you. Hope you enjoy your last few weeks at home!

Name: Sarah Hwang

Major: Neuroscience and Music

Hometown: Vienna, VA (Seoul, Korea for the first 10 years of my life)

Favorite Book: I enjoy all kids of books, but some of my favorites are Life of Pi, Poisonwood Bible, and I'm really enjoying the book I'm reading right now called A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.

Service: William and Mary Medical Relief, Matthew Whaley Tutoring (I absolutely love and adore kids), INOVA Fairfax Hospital, mission trips (from my church), and hopefully many/much more to come.

Ramble: I believe that the beauty of service is that there is not a single definition for it or ‘what it should be/look like’; each person has a chance to explore and learn what service means personally to him or her. One of the main purposes for my life is to love and serve others. I am the happiest and the most joyful not when I am doing something that will be beneficial for me, but when I am serving others and working to build a solid community around my home, my country, and the world. Service does not begin at a certain point and end at a certain point. It is an ongoing and continuous part of life. Giving up a few hours to help a neighbor with his yardwork or lending a hand to an elderly at the grocery store is just as much of an act of service as going to Nicaragua to help the poor and the sick. As we put our passion into action, we will slowly discover the true joy in life and thus spread that joy around us by planting a seed of passion for service in others.
