Why is service important to you?

Service is important to me because I believe that small steps can lead to significant change. This mindset drives me to contribute positively to my community in every way I can, whether through volunteering, helping out with community service projects, or supporting local initiatives. Each act of service, no matter how small, has the potential to create a ripple effect, fostering a sense of connection and improving the lives of those around me.

What do you love about Philly?

I love Philly for its deep sense of patriotism and the way it embodies the spirit of brotherly love. Despite the divisions we sometimes feel, the resilience and strength of our communities prevail. This city constantly reminds me of the shared values and history it was strongly founded upon. It’s this unwavering sense of community that makes Philly truly special to me.
