Olivia W., Bay Port High School volunteer, reflects on how GlamourGals has impacted her high school experience and future career goals. She shares how she plans to bring volunteering to a new community in college.
My one regret in high school is that I did not volunteer enough. I wish I would have joined more clubs early on, especially GlamourGals, and I wish COVID did not impact my high school career as much as it did. I started out in a few clubs freshman year, but quickly fell short of things when I could not drive and get places easily. Then, right as I was able to drive, COVID struck and all volunteer opportunities shut down to the public. Now I sit here as a senior wishing I could have done more. However, I realize that just because I am leaving high school does not mean that my volunteering needs to be cut short, rather this means that I can finally do more and grow as a volunteer. I can now move to my college town and bring my volunteer efforts to a new community. In my new college town I plan on volunteering as much as possible and being a part of the change in the community.
GlamourGals has significantly impacted my life since I have joined. Although I have only been in the club for one year I have fallen in love with the GlamourGals mission. GlamourGals is a fun way to volunteer. It is relaxing and feels effortless all while making a big impact on many peoples' lives. Furthermore, GlamourGals has impacted my future professional goals by making me realize how much I want to be a nurse. As a nurse I can help people and make a big impact on their life all through my job. Seeing the responses from the ladies and their joyful faces just brightens my day. Now, because of GlamourGals I believe that I have a driving force behind my career goals and I am excited for my future. I truly do believe that this organization has made a significant impact on my life in such a short amount of time.
