As a Jesuit University, Rockhurst has inspired me to do many
different things and to explore myself to a deeper level. The lesson that has
had the biggest impact on me so far has been the call to being a servant leader.
I feel like this is one of the ways that I can give back to others. This is
something that is important to me because I have been blessed with so much I
feel the need to give back. I applied for a service trip and had my interview
this past week. I am excited to see where I am placed and whom I will get to
help. This year has helped me to see where my potential lies. I am very motivated
when it comes to helping people and I am excited every opportunity I get to
help someone. I think the thing I am most excited about is possibly getting to
go on a service trip. I really want to go to a country and help for a change.
Every time that I have been out of the country, it has been for enjoyment or
education. Never to help someone who might need it. I think the service
immersion trips are the perfect example of servant leadership. Thinking on the
reasons behind wanting to go to one of the under served regions is to help
people and to teach them to become self-sufficient. I think that this idea of
servant leadership also ties in with my desire to be a physical therapist.
Recently, I have been bouncing around the notion of joining the Peace Corps
after I graduate and working with that for two years before returning to school
to complete my physical therapy degree. This path seems like it would suit me
just fine, and I get excited thinking about the freedom that, I would have to
help others by spreading friendship and aide to countries that need the help. I
think that everyone is called to be a servant leader, but not all accept the
call. I want to be one of those that accepts the call to service.
