It was an honor to be able to aid in spreading Christmas cheer and help with preparing the festivities for the annual polar express event, I'm glad that despite a few complications due to the weather, I was still able to get involved and help out the staff through setting up decorations

I had a blast tending to and watching over the pets there! With each dog showing a fairly loving side to them worthy of a home. From cleaning cages to handling pups, there was a great deal of work to be done but nothing too hard. I'm glad that I was able to participate in and be involved with the care of these animals and hope others have fun doing so as well!

The experience was overall just a fun little moment to give back to those either not receiving the attention they could be getting from their family and just an opportunity to get together with other students on campus to spread some holiday cheer. With creative freedom and a festive mood to boot, I definitely enjoyed myself and I'm glad to have been involved in the early holiday preparations of some degree.
