Aleah on her community service experience:
"I really enjoyed working at the Adapted PE conference in Durham, NH; this was a really unique opportunity to learn about disability sports and how they can be incorporated into a school setting. The most memorable experience here was playing a game of wheelchair handball and learning how to apply different motor skills to create a more inclusive environment."
