A little about Me!
Hi, there; my name is Lily. I am a senior here at Portland State. My major is Community Development. It took me a while to realize what exactly I wanted to do in life. I ended up changing my major from Architecture my junior year. Although I felt disappointed in myself for not going through with my first major, I am glad I chose to change it. I was told by most of my professors that I had good intentions when doing Architecture projects. I mainly focused on making a living space easily adaptable and empathized when doing research projects in a specific location. |
La luz del mundo -> LLDM -> The light of the world
The original purpose of my project proposal was to send now get well soon cards to the elderly in homes. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic still going on, I could not go through it. However, I have been an LLDM member my whole life, and without really thinking before taking this class, I have been doing volunteer work ever since I can remember. It has brought great joy to me. I was able to do a few things with the church located in Alameda, California, where we held a health fair, and I was able to be on the committee organizing it. It was all new to me and a great experience. We do many different things like go to the beach and clean it up. We show our support to our local doctors' nurses, primarily through these challenging times, like bringing them food when shifts are longer than usual, as well as the Police Department, Fire Department, and our veterans in our town. When the pandemic first hit, I remember many people couldn't get their vaccination shots because they didn't have priority. I wanted to do something about that, so I took the initiative to research if our church as an organization could give out these vaccines. We were able to sign up and give Covid vaccination. We also had a food pantry and gave out food for those in need, which was beneficial during these challenging times. We show our support and appreciation in any way we can. To everybody in the community, not just the people who belong to the church.
