Essay:
EDITOR’S NOTE Students submitted these essays before spring break March 2022. While the pandemic has improved with vaccines and treatments, it continues to challenge how we serve and live in 2022. Increasing inflation, weather events, the invasion of the Ukraine as a threat to world peace, unprecedented growth in Nashville and various other factors combine to make the need for service to others even more compelling in multiple facets of our lives and community. I am proud to work in a school that continues to focus on our mission that includes service to the community. Individuals and non-profit institutions face challenges that will continue into the future. The work of the Ensworth Service Scholars illustrates resourcefulness, determination, and commitment in the effort to turn challenges into opportunities. The student projects fulfill the promise of the Ensworth mission that encourages students to use their talents to the fullest, be contributors to society, and exercise their intellectual vitality. These essays have inspired me, again this year. I expect that will be a shared experience for all who read them. Enjoy the read.
