Leadership
Second semester I participated in the walk for wishes to raise money and support the Southern Nevada Make a Wish Foundation. This event took place at Town Square and was filled with participants. Some people walked for certain individuals in which they had personal relationships with, as others walked to support the foundation. My purpose was to provide leadership and encourage my peers to participate in this 5k walk. My peers and I signed up for this race and participated to support the community and represent the practice of occupational therapy. I was touched to see all the people involved with this foundation and would like to continue to actively participate in charity run/walks each semester. Understanding I am helping out a disease or condition while supporting my community encourages me to develop a larger team in future years and make this an ongoing tradition.
