I’ve decided to participate in Appa again this year, a Boston College service program that had a truly meaningful impact on me last year.

My experience with Appa challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. Through service, reflection, and community, I grew personally and learned the importance of showing up consistently for others. It was one of the most impactful experiences I’ve had at Boston College, and it’s the reason I feel strongly about returning for a second year.
