A Rose reflects the intelligence, compassion and independence of modern Irish women.
I think every little girl grew up watching the Rose
of Tralee, waiting, dreaming of that day of being crowned the Rose and getting to wear a sash and crown. While the
orchestra played the beloved rose of Tralee anthem. But what I really love about the whole contest is the after
effect. Knowing you will get an opportunity to work with so many charities and help others in need while
sharing your culture.
This year the
current rose got to go to Belarus to an orphanage. Amongst the glitz and glam of the event it is nice to remember, that you will also
get an opportunity to give back to people in need. Recently, I attended the SVP AGM and became the leader of COPE next year. College for me is not
only for enjoyment of socializing, but also an opportunity to give back to
people who need you. You never know when you will need help in the future and I
would hope someone will be there for you too.
At Christmas, I sponsored a little 4year old girl from El
Salvador to attend school. Not only did I love receiving letters in Spanish with drawings from her, but I also
got to share my heritage while learning
about hers. Over the year in college, I have meet amazing people who dedicate
their lives to help others and it is inspiring. Next year I am hoping to
run a marathon for charity and volunteer
to go to Bali to teach in a primary school for a few weeks.
