Rambling about service: My parents always did a great job of emphasizing the importance of service to my brothers and I when we were growing up. I think as I have gotten older and had the opportunity to be involved with a variety of different projects, I have noticed that my favorite part of service is the connections and friendships you form with people...whether it is people you are serving or people you are serving with. As a few others have mentioned, William and Mary's dedication and emphasis on service was one of the main characteristics that attracted me to this school. Because of the strong emphasis on civic engagement at the college, I have been able to combine my passion for community service with my academic courses and have been able to put both to use in service organizations such as Students Helping Honduras. The academic courses, service organizations, and people I have met at W&M have shown me how you can transform community service from a weekly activity to a part of everything you do.
