Day 4: Joy

Every Saturday morning I volunteer with Science Club for Girls.  We teach elementary school science classes at Northeastern to students from all around Boston.  I have taught classes in the past, but now I help on more of the organization side of things.

I love Science Club because so many different people are brought together to explore and learn about our world.  At Science Club, we focus on the “whole girl,” encouraging confidence and independence in women of all ages.  Most importantly, we have fun!

Science Club reminds me of the many ways in which people are called to minister.  So many people are doing good works all around the world, encouraging and supporting all of God’s people wherever their passion yearns.  From homelessness and poverty, to college preparation work and career counseling, we are building a world of support and love amidst the pain and suffering.

So today, let us focus on the beautiful people in this world and give thanks to God in JOY!

We are here today because science is fun!

We are here to show that science is for anyone.

Any age, any race, boy or GIRL,

Science answers questions we have about the world.

We use our brains, our hands, and make a big mess!

We investigate together through experiments.

We are the future, the future we will be,

Because Science Club for Girls is for girls like me!
