Service Learning Project

Over Thanksgiving break I had the pleasure of presenting to my high schools senior class about why a higher education is important and informed them about the Hixson Opportunity Award.  I was worried that I would not be able to keep the students attention but they seemed to be very interested.  The first thing that I touched on was why I had chosen to further my education and told them that to excel in life any more it is almost mandatory to get a degree.  Second, I shared my experiences at Iowa State including on campus activities and activities that pertain the Greek Community.  I wanted to share my Greek experience with them as it has been one of my best decisions.  Second to last I included the importance of applying for as many scholarships as possible and how to go about doing so. Lastly I opened the discussion up for questions and was able to have a positive effect on these kids.
