Education of the heart is really important to Bonin, who plans on being a teacher.

"Education of the heart is not only education but also your spirit," Bonin said.

Community Outreach Saturday and Bonner Leaders are some of the activities that she is involved with. This semester she is working hard on two main projects. Christmas All Year, which she the facilitator for and the Hunger and Homelessness Campaign, which she is the co-chair of.

"Service is more than going to a soup kitchen, but to educate others on why there are soup kitchens and why people around the world are hungry and all the ways in which to help these people," Bonin said.

The Boarder Experience is another program that she took part in. She traveled to Mexico where she stayed and interacted in shelters where people were trying to recover themselves economically, learned about how to make a budget for a family and helped to cook for her peers.

"It is truly a learning experience all about education of the heart, and I encourage other people to go on it," Bonin said.
