Driving 3 hours to adopt a puppy was not how I expected to spend my Saturday morning. The constant searching to find a perfect companion for me was taxing, but completely worth it.

Being involved in this group, as a member and treasurer, has already taught me many leadership skills that I will carry over into college and my career. Being treasurer has allowed me to discover the financial aspect of improving the environment and organizing
