To kick off our commitment to service this semester, 8 scholars visited the Ronald McDonald House on September 28th. I was fortunate to be among these scholars, who took a few hours out of their day to give back to the community.
To start out our work, we divided up cleaning duties on each of the four floors. The jobs proved to be very simple, yet rewarding. Next, we moved to the fourth floor kitchen to try out our baking skills. We ended up making two boxes of brownies and four boxes of cookies. Unfortunately, it seems that I have lost my touch for baking, as Jessica Bagby's cookies came out looking much better than my own. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience.
I truly enjoyed spending the afternoon at the Ronald McDonald House. You never know how completing a few simple tasks can positively affect someone's day. I know the families staying there were very appreciative of what we accomplished. Service is a wonderful thing and I urge each of you to do more of it.
