day 7

I feel like I continuously contribute to the community in a number of ways. One of the examples listed on the blog is holding the door open for people, which I always make sure to do for others. Another thing I do for the community is I always make sure to donate my time by volunteering at a day camp and watch children there free of charge. I spent a lot of time today going out of my way to help strangers whether it was helping others take their groceries to their car, buying lunch for a homeless man, as well as just giving my extra change as a tip at Starbucks. The hardest thing I went through today was trying to put others before myself. For example, when I was at the market, I just wanted to go home after having a long day of classes. Instead, I took the time out to help someone bring their groceries to their car. While it did take me some extra time, it was well worth it to help out others since it left me feeling like I really did something for someone and made their day a little brighter and easier.
