Pure Motivation is an organization that is a part of the Professional Development Department at Full Sail University. Pure Motivation's mission statement says Pure Motivation is, "harnessing the power of Full Sail's creative compassion to positively impact our community." I am a strong believer in community service and think it is very important to give back to the community. Pure Motivation was a group that I definitely wanted to get involved with because it allowed me to get involved and help the community outside of the classroom.
On April 17, 2010, as part of the Great American Clean-up, Pure Motivation volunteered with Keep Brevard Beautiful for their annual Trash Bash. At 6:30 AM myself and over 50 other volunteers went to Lori Wilson Park at Cocoa Beach where we filled the morning with hard work and bags of trash.
It was a very fulfilling feeling walking down the beach and hearing how grateful people were to us for cleaning up the beach. Barbara Venuto, Environmental Programs Coordinator, wrote in an email, "your efforts deserve high accolades. It is not every college student that would wake up extra early on a Saturday morning to be at the beach to do a cleanup." It is very uplifting to hear things like this and inspires me to continue to volunteer in community service events like this.
