Nicole Friday

I recently have started volunteering at Cedar Sinai this quarter. Normally, I take the the bus to Cedars and then take an Uber back after my shift. However, I decided to to commit to taking the bus to and from Cedars weekly without using an Uber. This weekend I was able to commit to this plan, which I truly enjoyed taking the time to admire the various places during the bus ride. Also, it provided me extra time to relax and get a head start on completing my assignments for the week. Overall, I like this new change and excited to continue doing it weekly.

Hello! My name is Nicole. I’m here because I want to educate myself more about the climate crisis and ways to incorporate small changes into my daily life. Sometimes, I find it difficult to find effective and sustainable ways to implement in my everyday life. Therefore, joining a community with like-minded individuals can provide me with new insights and reduce any anxiety. With the new effects of climate change, I want to learn more ways to advocate and reduce the pre-existing climate crisis before it becomes irreversible. In the future, I hope to still see the beautiful landscapes and thriving biodiversity, as I like doing activities related to nature (i.e., going to the beach, hiking, visiting gardens, etc.)
