What Scholars in Service Means to Me

I decided to join Scholars because I wanted to continue giving back to my community and make a positive impact on other people’s lives. During high school, I volunteered a lot, especially with rescue animals, and I wanted to continue that in college. Additionally, I was looking to meet people who shared similar interests and values.
