Working together to seal a food bag, sophomores Paige Matthys-Pearce and Maura Collins contribute to the assembly line. The space was filled with eight tables with 26 to 30 people per table. “Knowing that I was working to make a difference in someone’s life and that I was surrounded by people who were all working together to achieve that goal–that’s why [I volunteered],” Matthys-Pearce said.
Classwide volunteering opportunity leaves sophomores with a deeper understanding of unity and empathy

About the Contributor

Brinda Ambal, Conceptual Editor-in-Chief
Pronouns: she/her
I am a senior, and this is my fourth year on staff. The Pathfinder has helped me push myself independently, build a supportive community and grow through my mistakes. Though I write a lot of opinions, I do seek to understand the other side— my newfound knowledge always either strengthens my own position or changes my mind. I love fairy princess tea parties with my friends and 12-hour study marathons. In the rest of my time, I am Student Body co-Vice President, a part of the Scholar Bowl team and often found on or around Creve Coeur Lake with St. Louis Rowing Club. I most enjoy the small moments; a friend’s laugh, the brush of my fingers against a piece of paper and the first glimpse of daffodil yellow after a really long winter (gotta love Missouri weather).
