The motor activity clinic is one of many opportunities the School of Health and Human Science has to offer. I had the chance to work with amazing undergraduate and graduate students within the same major as I assisted them with their clients. Volunteering during the fall season opened me to the possibility of also focusing on a specialty working with pediatrics. I was able to work with amazing staff, clients, and parental figures as we moved towards one goal: the rehabilitation and safety of the kids. This program, despite being only a volunteer, highlighted my love for the wellness of others as I was able to work with many spirited children who pushed themselves in every session to improve on their mobility skills. 

The opportunity to volunteer at the Westminster Neighborhood Services Center located in Downtown Indy was a wonderful opportunity to immerse myself with the residents of my city. As a member of the Bonner Scholars program, we were able to prepare their building for future summer sessions as they welcomed more children from the neighborhood. The values of Westminster aligned with mine as I was able to have a peek into their purpose of their programs. Many families struggle to provide childcare for their children while they work and it can be difficult to find a shelter that will mentally, emotionally, and physically support their children throughout life transitions. I plan to continue to work with Westminster throughout my college career to continuously learn about the lives of those who help run our city.
