That's all it takes to make a difference in someone's life. I helped run the Philly Marathon this past Sunday, and yes I had to wake up at 5:30 am, but it was so worth it. With over 15,000 runners, the atmosphere was exciting. Even though the only volunteer sweatshirts left were extra large, we had a great turnout of students from all backgrounds and ages and had a great time.
Just walking around, people asked many questions because they saw our 'volunteer' outfits and a bunch of transfer students I saw throughout the day asked how we Registered to help. I think its the feeling of connection to campus that makes a person feel comfortable and welcomed.
And the bonus? We all had pumpkin pancakes at the 17th floor of Millenium.
Love you all,
Angela
