During my junior and senior years, I took part in the Muslim Student Association at Hunter College. During this time, I participated in breast cancer walks, painted the new rooms, and organized the major events. This was a great opportunity to venture myself into a college setting and understand the processes that are involved in planning events. During this process, I got to connect with college students who also referred me to the various other programs offered at Hunter. My favorite part about volunteering in this program was being able to go out of my comfort zone and interact socially with people older than me. A part which I found really fun and initially would think would be the most anticlimactic was painting the new rooms. It was really rewarding to see the renovated rooms and to know that I played a part in the way he turned out. In addition, I participated in bake sale which raised money for speakers during the events. These events were held in the auditorium and I though planning was at times very hectic and stressful, the end result was always worth it.
