Today I ran again at Gulley Park in Fayetteville. I did 2.48 miles and tracked it through the Nike Run Club App. It was a beautiful day out and great running weather!
Today, I ran 2.06 miles at Gulley Park in Fayetteville. I have attached a picture from the Strava running app.

I completed a poll for ASG. I felt like this survey was a good way for ASG to better understand the needs of the campus which is great!
I donated 5 travel size toiletry items for the Global Brigades trip.
This zoom call discussed the different ways to get involved with mentoring on campus. The first presentation was from a representative from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program. She talked about many ways to get involved including lunch buddies, sports buddies, and group mentoring. She mentioned the statistics of their program and how the kids that are mentored score higher on Arkansas testing than their unmentored peers which I found very interesting. The next presentation was from a representative from the Empower Program. She discussed what the program is about and their demographics. Empower helps students work on social skills, independent living, financial responsibility, etc. Overall, the two presentations were very interesting and gave me great insight and information to get involved with mentoring on campus.
After volunteering at Lake Fayetteville on Sunday, I noticed there were more parts of the park and more trails that had trash. I went back today and was able to collect one bigger trash bag of litter. I focused on the bigger area of the park so It took me longer than expected but I was glad to be helping out in a needed place.
Overall, I enjoyed volunteering and helping clean up Fayetteville parks. I go on runs at Lake Fayetteville very often so it felt good to help clean it up a bit.

Thank you Grace! |
I volunteered at Kids Life on Friday, November 11th. It was an amazing experience and I loved getting to spend time with the kids there. We got to help them with their schoolwork and play games. Overall, I really enjoyed volunteering here and will definitely be back!
I attended the Out of the Darkness suicide prevention walk. It was a great opportunity to support an amazing cause! I feel more educated now and am inspired to keep supporting this cause.
Thanks again Grace!!
