Editor’s Note: This’article is
the fifth in a five-part series cel
ebrating 10 years of volunteering at
Elon College.
Think back to your child
hood...
Remember those “Choose
YourOwn Ad venture” books? You
can only read so far until you are
faced with a choice: Do you turn
around to see what is making that
heavy breathing sound behind you
or do you get scared and run through
the door at the end of the hallway.
Then after you make the first choice,
you can only read so far until you
get to another one. When you fi
nally get to the end of the story, you
have the option of going back and
picking a whole different path to a
different ending.
“Choose Your Own Adven
ture” books are a wonderful meta
phor for entering college. In my
case, we packed up a van, left the
luxurious Garden State and headed
for Elon College, a place where 1
knew I wanted to be, but was scared
to death of going. The advefflure
starts... ,
At the moment our van pulled
into the parking lot of Harper Cen
ter, the choices began. How do you
want to arrange your room? Do
you want to go to that, mixer to
night? Are you going to be okay, or
are you going to get scared and run
through the door at the end of the
hallway?
College is choices. And the
choices we make as students will
determine what the rest of our lives
are going to be like. The decisions
we make are not always going to be
the right decisions, but whether they
are right or wrong, each decision
will be a learning experience. This
year, almost three-quarters of the
students on Elon’s campus made at
least one decision that will result in
not only a learning experience, but
an ever-lasting memory...they de
cided to volunteer.
What began as a twinkle in
Chaplain Richard McBride’s eye
ten years ago has now turned into
one of the most successful programs
at Elon College. Ten years later,
under the umbrella called the John
Robert Kernodle, Jr. Center for Ser
vice Learning, students have done
everything from donating blood to
spending time with children to build
ing homes.
By volunteering one hour of
one day, students can make a differ
ence in someone else’s life. Volun
teers are given so many opportuni
ties to go and not only help others,
but to learn and reflect about them
selves as individuals and as valu
able parts of the community.
Students who volunteer are
also provided the chance to develop
lasting friendships and memories.
Just by having a conversation with
a man whose home was damaged
by Hurricane Bonnie, Tina
Bellefond and others learned to ap
preciate each and every day. Each
student who participates in each
different volunteer program takes
something different back from the
experience.
Volunteering is a choice. And
as I have learned through research,
interviews and guest speakers while
doing this article series, volunteer
ing is a.life-changing choice for the
majority of students at Elon.
My experiences while writ
ing this series can be summed up by
the following quote posted in the
Kernodle Center:
“You will always end up wiser
and you will have grown from your
experiences understanding more
about people and life.”
