Katie Strickland-Final Video Reflection

I can't believe that after three months my volunteering with Girls on the Run is over. I am sad to see the end of it, but am unbelievably happy to see how far the girls have come from the beginning to where they are now. The girls became much more confident in themselves and were also able to complete an entire 5k after a lot of hard training.

I am beyond grateful for having the opportunity of serving Girls on the Run and hope to return to the organization again next year.

Wow!  I can't believe that Girls on the Run has finally come to a close.  I am incredibly sad that it went by so fast, but also extremely grateful for this experience because I couldn't imagine a better service learning site. 

Here, I recap on the finale of GOTR and share a few favorite memories and challenges.        
               
  


This season has been absolutely wonderful, and I formed great relationships with so many new people.  I have grown to love every girl that participated as they opened up to me, and I can't wait to see what they do because their futures are very bright.  The coaches, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Marshall, are wonderful people.  I can't thank them enough for welcoming us and making us feel valuable.  And the other Running Buddies from this class - Katie, Parker, Alli, and Chandler - made the experience all the worthwhile with their high spirits and constant support.

As you may be able to tell, Girls on the Run has been a huge part in making my first semester of college one to remember. I can't wait to volunteer with Seton's Girls on the Run next year and see those smiling faces again!

Allison Butler - Final Reflection

I am feeling a little sad that this is my last blog post. I have enjoyed volunteering with Girls on the Run, and have realized how much I enjoyed it through documenting it. Below is a video of me articulating the good and the bad of serving at Girls on the Run - and it is mostly good!





If anyone who has ever worked for or volunteered for Girls on the Run is reading this, THANK YOU! I have seen firsthand the difference it can make in a young girl's life - and it is a big difference!

Now that Girls on the Run is over, I'm sad but so incredibly thankful for my opportunity to work with them! I hope that if the opportunity arrises, I'll be able to work with them next fall! If you are considering getting involved in the community in any type of way, I'd highly recommend getting in contact with GOTR. It has been such a fun, rewarding experience!

Girls on the Run is so much fun!

Final Video Reflection - Chandler Unfried

The Service Learning Experience began as just a task to fulfill in my CIS 112 class but has since become so much more.  The assignment is complete, but the experience is far from that.  I plan on working with Girls on the Run for their next season!!  The impact the program has made on me will be lasting.







Girls on the Run is so much fun!  Girls on the Run is number one!
