Volunteer Gym Clean-Up

This was my first time volunteering at Memphis ROX and I had a pretty good time! During my morning I helped clean up the gym by wiping down equipment and scrubbing the walls. My service helped me to better understand why community service is so important because without the help of each of the volunteers there, it would have taken significantly longer, just to have a clean area for people to have fun and workout. I worked with a variety of people, including some other students from the U of M. During my service, the staff was friendly and showed us exactly what needed done and how to do it efficiently. My service does align with my personal values and beliefs because I do think having a clean area, to do anything, is important and beneficial because it is nice to walk into places and see that it is clean and well-kept. It also allows those who use the area to do what they need to do and stay clean and healthy.
