By taking advantage of an opportunity to serve at a physical therapy center, I could explore an entirely different way to serve others and make them happy, which has empowered me to volunteer more so I can fill myself and others with joy and purpose. The final goal that York College has encouraged me to fulfill is to support my physical, mental, and emotional health. My mental health is supported when I work at the Grumbacher Center because I take part in a supportive and kind community there. My coworkers and managers feel like friends that I can rely on, people that I can open up to and not feel judged.
