I am a fifth year Architecture major. I am originally from Dublin, OH. One of my favorite parts of Philly (difficult to narrow down to one!) would be the Reading Terminal Market. I love the atmosphere of all different types of people crammed into one space, rubbing elbows and enjoying the great food. The smells and colors that pour out from each vendor are wonderful.

The best part about service is that it broadens your horizons. It allows you to look at life through others eyes and step outside of our comforts and experience the bigger picture.

I am a second year Professional Communication major with a Customized Art and Design History minor from Baltimore, MD.  My favorite part of Philly is, of course, Center City. It's urban, always exciting, and simply beautiful! I always feel entertained and satisfied, visually and personally, in Center City.
 
I love service because it unifies people. Service brings diverse people together for one common purpose-and that is to better the world. I also love service because it creates the realization that the world has the potential to be better place, and we, the people, have the power to create solutions. We can do it!

I am a second year Health Science major and I am currently building a custom minor in Botany. My roots are in Hackensack, NJ, however I have lived in 4 states (NJ, GA, VA, and PA) and 13 cities since birth. My favorite part of Philadelphia is the South Street area. This area is so culturally eclectic with various art murals, in a range of different mediums such as glass and spray paint, and unique shops. Plus it’s on South Street where a Jamaican gal like myself can get a decent beef patty.

I love service because in the beginning, before people worked for salary and wages, if a job needed to get done, it was done as a free service just so there could be progress. Needed progress that benefited a people, a specific area, or a nation.
