About Reggie Coleman!
Hometown: Columbia, S.C.
Major: B.S. in Psychics & B.A. in Chemistry
Graduation Date: May 2011
Volunteer Activities: I receive a wonderful feeling contributing weekly to volunteering at the Salvation Army. North Charleston is one of the poorest cities in the country. After seeing a homeless person receive some food or clothing really gives me a heart-welling feeling.
What do you enjoy most about community service? Mostly African Americans are receiving aid at the Salvation Army in North Charleston. I am African American and it really affects me mentally sometimes. Most importantly I smile when someone replies thank you. Every weekend is different at the Salvation Army and I look forward to volunteering there each week.
How would friends and family describe me? My family and friends would describe me as hard working, reliable and trustworthy. I treat everyone as I would like to be treated.
What would you tell someone thinking about volunteering? My message to anyone thinking about volunteering is to "Just Do IT" just like Nike!
How have you personally benefited from volunteering? Volunteering has opened my eyes to reality that everyday while I live my normal life, there are people who everyday don't know what they will eat or where they will stay. I am definitely more humble because of the opportunities I was able to give people at the Salvation Army.
What are your plans after graduation? I plan on going to Kuwait where I will be doing laboratory work. With my two degrees I am expecting my starting salary to be in the range of 100k.
