In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports.
Also, that means that they would be constantly driving their semis back from Indianapolis, Indiana back to Bloomington Illinois, 169 miles, which if anyonehave driven or even ridden for an amount of time like that, is very tiring and shows dedication throughout the entire project . In addition to helping with flooding, Midwest also partnered with the salvation during hurricane katrina, and even now keep on hand loads of boxes ready to be sent out a moment's notice.

As an African American woman entering the field of computer engineering, I realize that diversity is a crucial aspect in order to accelerate technological solutions. An engineering team with similar thought processes and backgrounds will achieve far less than their culturally aware counterparts. Representation matters. Occasionally it is difficult for me to look around a room – to look around a career field – and see a very small amount of people representing my gender and ethnic group.

Leading up to Evening for Habitat I solicited businesses for donations with my senior partner.

Scandals appear to have become an unfortunate part of society with some more prominent than others. When an organization like United Way is faced with a scandal, the challenge becomes how to overcome the damage done and the public relations nightmare.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". With my hand placed over my heart, I am brought back to elementary school reciting this verse with thirty other students in my class. The fifty-star banner hung motionless and proud in the corner of the room and as my teacher begins the verse, thirty young voices instantly chime in. This pledge had a power behind the words that I could feel yet I didn’t know why. Now I rarely hear these powerful words at school or in public, and I wonder what is happening to America; we are losing our religion, our sense of unity, and the equality for all American citizens.
