During my time at the Honors College I have acquired a new perspective on service-learning‚ viewing it as more than just a requirement for a course. Four semesters have taught me the imperative nature and necessity of service learning for academic and personal growth.

This was is a very unusual event‚ if you have lived in North Carolina for your entire life‚ like Rebecca. It almost never snows in North Carolina. The snow stuck to Rebecca’s short‚ chin length hair.
