Our junior classes capstone project was hosting a diner for Elks Camp Grassick. We ran into many obstacles but overcame them all with great deal of team work. My job title for this project was the Event coordinator. I was fortunate enough to have been surrounded by people who had with great connections to Spirit of Life Church, where we hosted the event. There was also a great connection with Camp Grassick so we were able to get speakers at the event. Everyone in the group made great contributions to the event and help me in many different ways.
Another role I had in our capstone project was preparing the food. We made home made meat sauce for spaghetti along with garlic pread and salad.
I have had two opportunities to help with special olympics bowling. While there I helped to organize the players in their lanes, but mostly was an encourager for all the athletes. There were so many athletes participating so it was impossible for me to help them all, but I was able to make meaningful connections with the players that I helped. The entire experience was very rewarding and fun for all.
I was also involved in the freshman outreach group my junior year of ELA. In this group I presented along with Derek Myers and Brett Mortenson. Our goal was to promote ELA and encourage each of them to continue in the program.
