I have chosen to join Apex Harmony Lodge as my local service. This service allows students to interact with individuals who suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s. Neuroscience is something that interests me so I think that this is a very fitting service. I also hope to gain the skills and ability needed to properly and respectfully communicate with those who have this disease and learn more about them. I know the impact music can have on helping retrieve some parts of memory even momentarily and I think this will be a very touching experience.

I have signed up to be a part of the I-India GC. This is a cause I feel strongly about as previously in Middle School, I was the Chair for this GC. This is GC helps children and women in India which is my home country so I feel a special connection to this service. As this is the GC’s first year in high school, I hope to be a significant part in establishing itself in its first year and taking up a leadership role.
