ARC helped me focus while preparing for my state board exam for nursing.
Where did ARC take you personally? Are you engaged in community work that is ARC-like?
I feed the homeless monthly with the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses.

Yes; to always give back to the community.
Share a great memory about ARC/IWU.
