Spaghetti Feed
Last term X58 put on an all you can eat spaghetti feed to raise money for the center for medically fragile children at providence children's hospital. I took the entire event on myself and poured my heart and soul into the entire thing. The night of I was incredibly nervous, making sure there was enough food and everyone was enjoying the Christmas music and finding a place to sit. We made a few announcements and gave away some fun prizes and right as I sit down to eat Jacob, who was helping me MC the event got on the mic and gave a prepared speech. He started talking about selflessness and giving, he mentioned kindness and heart. He was talking about me. At first I was embarrassed, and couldn't stop shaking my head at him in disbelief. As I choked down the spaghetti that was in my mouth, I stood up and turned towards everyone else. They were giving me a standing ovation, and the praise reigned down over me like rain. I have never felt such satisfaction in my entire life to know that friends and strangers alike joined for a common cause, a charity, would appreciate one man's efforts.
