Drew Vaughn

I showed up about fifteen minutes before the listed arrival time, and got started setting out snacks, and waters. When people started showing up, we had the opportunity to play games with them and talk. The people there had mental disabilities, and this Game Night gave them the opportunity to play games and talk with their peers. They had air hockey, ping pong, arcade games, card games, and pool. I spent a lot of time shooting pool with a girl there named Liz. This volunteering opportunity gave me many opportunities to flex many professional muscles. Before entering I was slightly uneasy because I didn't know anybody. So, I went into the bathroom right after I entered and practiced my Amy Cuddey power pose. I also improve my communication skills at this event. I communicated with the man who was in charge, letting him direct me with where to go, and what to do. I also communicated with my volunteering colleagues, we talked about how to work best, where to go, how to include others in the activities, and more. Overall, I am very glad I participated in this event, and I am happy that Business Career Essentials class pushed me to serve and grow out of my comfort zone.
