Hi guys! My name is Michael and I am a TOMS Shoes Campus Club member in Maryland.  This is my “TOMS story” of how I got involved…

It all started a few months back when the TOMS movement walked into my life quite unexpectedly.  Late one night in early January to be exact;  I was poking around the internet, I can’t recall how but I happened to find myself on the TOMS Shoes website. Instantly I was hooked, ideas shot through my head, “Who are these people?”  “Wow! These shoes are awesome, I want a pair!”  “I wish I could be a part of this.”  Little did I know that I could be.  I looked around the site even more and found a link to get involved.  “That’s it! I’ll do it.”  I watched the mission video and learned all I could, dreaming of being in Africa giving shoes to children in need and seeing their smiling faces.  Quickly I applied to be a Campus Club member and waited anxiously for TOMS to contact me back.  A few tedious days later I got an email from TOMS.  I was so ecstatic, I was contacted by TOMS!  A few weeks later I was on the TOMS team making a difference in the world.  Since that first moment I have been tested to my limits, organizing barefoot walks and Style Your Sole events.  TOMS has really made me realize what I am capable of.

These days you can usually catch me in a pair of my TOMS, the Dave Matthews edition are my favorite!  You can ask any of my friends, more than once I have told them the TOMS story of how it started and what they do.  I am working hard at transforming my community and still dreaming of that day I will be helping kids and seeing their smiling faces.

We’re excited to have Michael keep us updated this semester on TOMS events and stories from his high school in Maryland! Visit the Get Involved section of the TOMS website to apply to be a campus club member.
