Hey guys,
Sitting at the raffle table right now. Getting ready for a day of selling tickets and talking up the trip. We have some really great prizes from all over the Rochester community. When going out and asking for these prizes, it was nice to see an outpouring of generosity, especially considering the fact that nearly every place we asked is already giving to other organizations.
Much like the businesses in rochester, everyone involved in this project has plenty of other things going on in their life. The brothers of old, and the family and friends of those attending have been an immense help. Without them we would never have been able to do this. I cannot begin to express how grateful we are for their gifts.
I, too, have projects and events of my own. I am completing a double major in Economics and Psychology. My focus has been primarily on psychology for several years now. I currently do research in the med center on suicide prevention and documentation. My mentor and myself hope to implement a training that helps clinician assess suicide risk, and ultimately help the patients they serve. For me, helping others has not always been in my nature, but it is certainly something I strive for.
I have lofty ideals and I have been an active member of Sigma Chi since my initiation, with positions including assistent magister (assistant pledge master) and pro consul (vice president). I felt compelled to spread our lofty ideals when Father Cool brought up the idea of this trip.
I am amazed how far we have gotten in such a short time; I can't believe this plan is actually coming to fruition. I am excited for what is to come.
In Hoc
