My PAC Journey

Thursday 31st Oct

Hello and welcome to my fundraising page!

These last few weeks, the first of my senior year, I’ve been reflecting back on my UCLA journey, a large portion of which is PAC.

My freshman year, I really struggled at UCLA. Academically, I was used to small, intimate classes at my private high school, and felt it difficult to stay engaged and passionate about my classes in such large lecture spaces. Personally, I lacked a community, something I was not used to having grown up with sports and arts and thus creating communities through those activities. I really wanted to transfer, but I decided to stick it through until I found that community. I knew it existed, I just had to find it.

The following year, I decided to rush in the fall, something I never imagined doing — and thankfully I did. During rush, I met a girl named Katerina in the Chi Omega sorority. Not only did Kat make me realize that Chi O was the sorority for me, she introduced me to another club she was part of - the Pediatric Aids Coalition, or PAC. At first I was hesitant — I was not a pre-med student, had no background in science or health and was confused why she would encourage me to join. But Kat told me that PAC was not a club for pre-med students, and instead included students from all different academic departments who worked on a variety of committees, all with different responsibilities. She told me she was the co-director of Entertainment, and as a Music Industry Student, ENT had given her the opportunity to work with artists all across the LA area for Dance Marathon, PAC’s annual 16-hour fundraising event. Two weeks later, I submitted my application. And a week after that, I was a member of the 2022-2023 Entertainment Committee.

My journey in PAC continued the following school year, where I served as the co-director of Entertainment alongside the person who pushed me to join PAC: Katerina. Now, in my final year at UCLA, I’ll be serving as the Executive Director of Production, overseeing my beloved Entertainment, as well as Media, Morale, and Internal Events.

Joining PAC was by far the best decision I have made during my time at UCLA. The people in PAC became that community I was so desperately searching for. Through it, I met one of my best friends at UCLA (shoutout Lily) and created beautiful, life-changing relationships with some truly special people. I’ve also worked on a cause, AIDS & HIV research, treatment, and destigmatization, that has fundamentally changed my perception of the world. Being gifted the opportunity to speak with those who are directly affected by the work we do, from educational programs to the money we raise, has changed my life.

I’m so grateful to this organization for all it has done for me, and all it has done for this cause. I know that in eight months, when I walk across that stage and receive my diploma, I will be so proud to have finished my UCLA experience being part of such an inspiring group. I’m sad to only have one year left, but I know that the organization will be left in good hands.

I hope these words have inspired you to make any contribution, large or small, to my fundraising page. Your donations are helping us reach our goal of an AIDS-free generation.

XOXO,

Maya
