"Luckyday has taught me how important it is to give back to my community,” she says. With Luckyday’s community service program, Kelsey has had the opportunity to grow. Through her volunteering at the DuBard School for Language Disorders, she states she has learned many things about others. Subsequently, though, she says service there has taught her even more about herself. One piece of advice from Kelsey to freshman is this: “Get involved on campus, be bold and make new friends, and don’t stress!... Enjoy it!” Her favorite thing about serving as a mentor is the fact that she can be available to girls by answering questions, helping solve problems, and simply being a person they can talk to. She enjoys being that kind of person for her mentees and likes learning things from them in the process. Overall, she says, “It's a really great privilege and opportunity that I have while I'm here at Southern Miss to be a positive influence to the new Luckyday freshmen.”

Meet Luckyday Mentor Kelsey Mitchell
Kelsey Mitchell is a sophomore from Lucedale, Mississippi. As an English licensure major, she hopes to teach in the future. When asked about her plans after graduation, she said: “I hope to teach English at a high school for a few years and then move to China and teach English there.” Her desire to teach in China came from her involvement at the Baptist Student Union and her summer trip to China through the BSU. Apart from schoolwork, Kelsey serves on the leadership team at the BSU, listens to music, and enjoys reading, shopping, and spending time with her friends.
