get to it!!!
The other day I was driving home from school and I saw two homeless people standing near a red light. I usually just blow them off and forget about them. But there was something special about the two people standing there. I don’t know what it was about them but they got me thinking. They made me realize how much I take for granted and all the great things I have. The fact that we are lucky enough to never have to worry about whether or not we have food to eat or a bed to sleep in is amazing. We are truly blessed. Where this is going is giving back to our community. I must admit I have not done as much as a should have. Helping others is imperative. It teaches life lessons and there is nothing more humbling than helping people who are less fortunate than us. I started thinking about the different things I can do here in Louisiana. Something I think I would really enjoy would be helping out at food banks. Millions of people are living below the poverty line. I think in addition to food, these people just need someone to talk to, a friend. I would like to give my time to try and help out. I would like to “adopt” a kid, or young adult. Someone that I can mentor, spend time with, and help with advice. This would be someone that I meet up with a few times a month and talk to on the phone. What I getting at is I would really like to spend more time helping others. I feel that if we as a school get together and focus on one cause, we could accomplish great things. But we have to have the will to help out.
