The following is a letter from Carolina to the
Southside Rotary club members.
Southside CC Rotary: From the moment I heard about Rotary International,
what they do, and the things they strive for - I knew I wanted to join, and that
it was perfect for me. As a college student, I joined Rotaract Club at TAMUCC.
From there on, I learned about all of the possible opportunities Rotary offers,
and the great people involved. I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by South
Side Rotary Club to go to Costa Rica and give back to the underprivileged.
This experience, along with all of the other ones I was apart of with Rotary, have
allowed me to expand my devotion of helping others. I am blessed to have been
able to be a part of this, and greatly honored to have been able to represent such
a prestigious organization on my graduation day. Again, I thank you all for the
continuous support, endless advice and opportunities.
