Although we have uniforms here at ICHS, we have many opportunities for dress down days. However, this isn't just for us. If we have a dress down day, we pay money to donate to certain things. For example, we've had dress down days for childhood cancer, breast cancer, Alzheimer's and more. I truly enjoy taking part in these as it is a way to give back to people in need. It is not just a way for me to get out of my uniform, but a way to know in my soul that I did something good for the world. We have our core values that many encourage us to follow, and I believe that donating to these dress down days shows my solidarity to those in need. It is showing how I care so deeply for those who are a little less fortunate than I may be, and it shows my way of giving back to them. This is why I donate now and will keep donating to these dress down days in the future.

Today, for service I was assigned to create potted plants for the felician sisters. However, I don't at all see it as an "assignment." Doing this service today was a wonderful experience for me and my peers as we painted pots and planted flowers in them. Working with my fellow students and some of my teachers as well was also very enjoyable. It was a fun way to give back ot the community. Towards the end we all gathered as a group and went into the gym to have some fun with the Felician Exceptional students. In my opinion, that was the best part of the day. Seeing their smiles as they were dancing their hearts out was truly a humbling and beautiful experience. I look forward to having more service days just like this one in order to broaden my view on many different things.
