  Monthly Community Service Hours  Completed 13 (as of October 27) Cumulative Semester Service Hours  Completed 13 (as of October 27)      On October 19th, my mom and I participated in an early morning volunteer event with Grace at The Green Light, a program that provides meals and essential support to those experiencing homelessness in New Orleans.       We had to wake up at 4 AM (definitely not an easy task!) and head to the St. Jude Community Center on 400 N.

Learning about HIV particularly caught my attention, not just because it’s a critical topic in medicine, but because Louisiana—especially Baton Rouge—is a hot spot for HIV infections.
