Along with other freshmen, I walked down to the greenhouse gardens at the Lower School during Community Block and volunteered for one hour. During this time, I met Mrs. Sanders and helped to weed and water the various beds within the gardens. We also helped to create compost to harvest new plants and vegetables and picked out new vegetables to set aside.
Are the service hours you completed COMPETENCE HOURS (learning about social justice issues) or COURAGE HOURS (direct or indirect service to others)?
COURAGE
Which Gilmour charism (Divine Providence, Forgiveness, Hope, Hospitality, Inclusiveness, Option for the Poor, The Cross, Zeal) did you best live out through your service experience? Please explain.
I think I was best living out the charism of hospitality during this time. I was serving Mrs. Sanders, who needed our help and working towards the greater good of the garden during my free time.
Would you try this service experience again? Why or why not?
Yes, I would definitely volunteer for this opportunity again. I saw it as rewarding and peaceful. This experience really showed me the true effort and responsibility that comes with maintaining a successful garden.

I met with other Gilmour students to speak with students and families at Gesu's high school night on October 5th. We discussed why Gilmour would be a good fit for them and what they should consider when making their high school decision. It was definitely interesting to return back to my former grade school.

Hospitality: We created a comfortable environment for families who are working to make the best high school decision for their children. We want to stress that they are always welcome to the GA campus.
Would you try this service experience again? Why or why not?
Absolutely. I am naturally talented at public speaking and enjoy meeting new people.

On October 30th, I gave one family and child a tour of Gilmour's campus as they begin their high school admissions process. We went to places like the Middle School, classroom building, and even the Tudor House. The tour concluded in the Athletic Center where there were drinks and food and where they could also speak with teachers and coaches based on their interests.

Inclusiveness: As a tour guide, I included my family in the Gilmour community as they learned about my personal high school experience. They became a part of the community as I welcomed them to our campus.
Would you try this service experience again? Why or why not?
Of course! It felt good to meet new people and show them something that I experience every day.
