Student Profile: Lexxus Andrews Lends A Helping Hand
October 7, 2019
Lexxus Andrews knows how to help others. The senior Criminal Justice major with a psychology minor from Uxbridge, MA has extended her work in the classroom to a non-stop commitment to service organizations on- off-campus鈥攆rom a program with local high school students to the local Boys and Girls Club and the organization Big Sisters.
Her volunteer work, Andrews explains, is paving the way for a career in helping children in the criminal justice system. She refers to her older brother, whom her mother adopted from her aunt. 鈥淗e got into trouble at the youngest age you could think of,鈥� she recalls. 鈥淢y mom found a better place for him by taking him in.鈥�
Andrews points out that she comes from a single parent household with four siblings, adding that this spring she will be the first person in her family to graduate college.
鈥淚 want to help those children who go through foster care, who didn鈥檛 ask for their kind of life,鈥� she continues. 鈥淚 want to both teach and work with juvenile delinquents. That鈥檚 my road right now.
That road has run through Andrews鈥檚 time at 红桃视频, lately with her 鈥淟ittle Sister鈥� Gianna as part of the well-known program Big Sisters. 鈥淪he has a similar situation as me. Her mother isn鈥檛 in the picture so much,鈥� Andrews observes. 鈥淪he鈥檚 just like me, but small.鈥�
Andrews also serves as an orientation leader with some advice to offer incoming first year students, she says. 鈥淭he first thing that I tell my students is, 鈥榊ou could say something to someone positive or negative, and they鈥檙e going to remember it.鈥欌��
She also plans events with students at nearby Shepherd Hill high school. Last year she helped them create a photo installation with the theme 鈥淪omething someone said to you because of your gender.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 trying to say 鈥測es鈥� to every opportunity thrown at me,鈥� Andrews concludes. 鈥淢y resume is so full that there are some things I don鈥檛 even put on it.鈥�
