Favorite Quote: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls whom neither knows victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
Because of my service-learning experience, I consider those cast aside, forgotten, and ignored by society in my daily life. Because of my service-learning experience, my role has been able to shift from being a giver to someone in need to a mutual human being navigating life with people outside of my immediate circle. I apply this learning in the way in which I budget each month making sure to set aside what I can to donate to important causes and organizations I care about.
