One of my favorite memories was getting to spend all four of my spring breaks participating in and leading service project trips around the country through Campus Ministry. I traveled to Hollywood, CA twice, Portland, OR, and San Diego, CA to name a few.

It's so hard to choose one GVSU memory. Some of my best memories include hall hockey in Pew (sorry about all the noise everyone), all the intramural sports, Relay for Life, and traveling down to Alabama to watch Grand Valley win a national championship.

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is my Honors College study abroad trip to Ghana. Our group was introduced to Challenging Heights, a non-profit that rescues and rehabilitates children enslaved in the fishing industry.

I loved playing my guitar and singing my original songs in the local coffee house so I would say that was one of favorite Grand Valley memories.
