Personal Statement
When I came to Westminster College as a freshman, I knew that I wanted to be involved in Habitat for Humanity. I wanted to help the community by building houses for families in need. Our chapter volunteers with Habitat for Humanity in Mahoning County Ohio. We help built on Saturdays throughout the school year. I love how the organization has continued to provide families with adequate and affordable housing. I did not want to be just another member, I wanted to advocate for Habitat. My freshmen year I was the Freshmen Representative, then I moved on to Treasurer. I am now the president of our Habitat Chapter and I could not be more proud of the help that we are providing.
