Reflecting On My GlamourGals Experience

Sydney M., a volunteer for the Bay Port High School GlamourGals Chapter, reflects on the time spent volunteering for her chapter as she prepares for graduation.

As a senior in 2023, the GG Senior Home Visits were limited and very rare to attend, but something that I continued to do throughout was making seasonal cards that we sent to the residents in assisted living facilities.  The time spent with all the club members, mentors, and classmates crafting cards really helped me understand not just what we are doing, but WHY we are doing it. Together, we put so much care and consideration into the presentation of the cards, including the design, colors, and message. When devoting time into card making, I started to curate a scenario on how I would feel if I received a card with so much intentionality. Overall, this whole experience has just given me more of an appreciation for effort and an understanding of how good it feels to give back to someone.
