Personal Statement

Although I was involved in service work prior to coming to Berea College, it wasn't until then that I began to fully understand why I served. Being a spiritual person, I felt compelled to serve others. Being a queer man in the south, I feel compelled to be heard and acknowledged. The Center for Excellence in Learning through Service (CELTS) proved to be a catalyst for combining those two convictions. I have come to learn that it is not hard to find someone who is being oppressed or unheard, however, I found impressive amounts of resilience. Serving others opens my mind to think critically about policies and the people that are effected. I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to serve my community through being involved with training first-year college students to engage with the community and serve in the areas they feel called. It is my belief that everyone has something to offer, I hope to nurture those characteristics and work to build a stronger community.
