Total Spring Semester Hours: 55
Total April Hours: 16
We have reached the end of the semester and it's a little bitter
sweat. Many classmates are packing their things and heading back home and
others are staying in the city. For me, I will be spending most of my time, if
not all, studying for the MCAT this summer. I will continue living in New
Orleans the city I was born and raised.
This month I volunteered with the Habitat team in two locations
throughout the city. The first location in Gentilly I was working with a team
of volunteers from New York in framing staircases and nailing down outer walls
to the structure. A week later Chad and I helped with constructing a chain-link
fence in New Orleans East with a high school group from Connecticut. I have
much respect for volunteers coming to our city from out of state especially during
their vacation to help and rebuild the city and provide housing for less fortunate
Americans. I wish to continue volunteering with Habitat and rebuilding the city
I grew up in.
