"When You Get, GIVE. When You Learn, TEACH. -Maya Angelou
Recently my roomies and I were sitting in our living room discussing frivolous matters. Out of nowhere I turned the conversation around & heightened the seriousness of discussion when I mentioned that lately my heart has been heavy because of this urge I haven't dealt with ---an urge to give back to the community. I didn't think that bringing up my desire to give and/or do something for the community was going to get the reaction that it did. Theeey weeere... PUMPED! lol. Everyone in the room got excited and started expressing how they too have the desire and interest to give back. With that being said we all started doing our research on volunteer opportunities in the community, and today I am MORE than glad to say that since then we have each found an organization of our individual interest. Each of us have spoken with the organization of our choice and have set up time frames that allow us to be fully committed volunteers weekly. It is BEYOND a blessing to be around nonetheless LIVE with people who get excited for you & encourage you to set out and do what it is you want to do.. but it is an even GREATER FEELING when those people join you on the ride and share the experience with you.
