For some students, making something better may mean volunteering to help other people, supporting an organization or campaigning for a cause.
Your contribution can be as simple as shopping for supplies, making phone calls, running
errands, offering encouragement, planting a tree, visiting someone in the hospital, working at a food
pantry, giving blood, picking up trash, writing a letter to the editor or teaching a child
how to play a game.
Yesterday, as I was on my way to pick up my kids from
school, it occurred to me that I was feeling exhausted-I
mean really tired. As I made a mental scan of my day, I realized that I had been in a "reactive" mode
most of the day rather than a "proactive" mode. |
