About the Author

Hey! My name is Pilar De Jesus and I am a Pre-Nursing major at the University of Central Florida. I would like to thank the Ascension Catholic Community in letting us use their facilities for this event, I would also like to thank the teachers, students, and faculty as well as my fellow volunteers in helping make this event happen!

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of my Halloween Service Project was to help raise funds for Ascension Catholic Community. For this event, I had to help plan a "haunted" escape room, the entrance room to the haunted house, as well has help create and build things for the event from scratch. Throughout this event, I learned that without having a team to divide all the tasks it would have almost been impossible to make this event happen. I also learned how satisfying and rewarding it is to give up time and effort to help the community without expecting anything in return. I also learned that through volunteering, one can make personal connection, for example a lot of the volunteers I used to see at mass every Sunday and not know their names, now I have created friendly relationships with the volunteers, and we actually look now to sit together at mass.
