Gadison help setup the COVID-19 vaccine center. Once setup and seeing community members come in, Gadison reflects on what he saw during his deployment.
“Just seeing all the smiles on their faces and everyone thanking us was amazing,” said Gadison.
The happiness he saw from community members and his commitment to help people, is what motivated Gadison during his deployment.
“How happy everyone was motivated me,” said Gadison. “Why be negative in the first place when you’re helping people out.”
Gadison is a social media motivational speaker and goes to school full time. He doesn’t want the deployment to end but now he can focus on school and the content he’s creating now. A life changing mission, coming to a close for his team.
“I don’t want the deployment to end but now I’m ready to focus on my content and school,” said Gadison. “It was a great opportunity and I was happy to be part of it.”
