Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to share with you an important cause that I am passionate about - Project Makeover at UF. Last year, I had the pleasure to volunteer with PM and this year, I am serving as a Coordinator of Finance. For those of you who are not familiar with PM, it is a nonprofit organization founded at UF that works to renovate elementary schools in underprivileged areas of Alachua County. By beautifying these schools through renovations such as landscaping and decorating, PM aims to make a positive impact on the learning experience of the students.
When I think back to my time as an Otter at Ocean Palms Elementary, I can recall the joy I felt when the school was repainted and decorated with murals. These bright colors and intricate designs were simply captivating to my younger self. Such a simple change made a huge difference in making the school a more enjoyable place to be and fostered a sense of pride within the student body. This is why I believe in the mission of PM and am committed to making a difference in the lives of the students in our community.
