Saturday Day 7: Giving Back

Giving back to my community is a very important aspect in my life. From seventh grade up until my senior year of high school, I was apart of a charity league which promoted community service on a daily basis. I was actively involved in this organization and my weekends were comprised of various beach clean-ups, library craft days, volunteering at local dental clinics and at Families Forward. Although I am now in college, giving back to my community is still very important to me. In my sorority that I have recently joined, I also have become actively involved in our philanthropy that we sponsor. I have also joined SIFE which is a business club on campus and recently the main goal of our meetings have been centered around ways in which we could give back to the community of Orange since they have done so much for our club. Although I am already helping to give back to my community, I feel that I could do a lot more than what I am doing right now. My main goal for this semester is to volunteer at least once a week with either my sorority, SIFE or another club on campus. I feel that this is a very easy goal to accomplish and if i make it a part of my weekly routine, I will then be able to make sure this goal becomes a reality. I believe that if everyone gives back to their community a little bit more than they are doing now, our planet will truly be a better place.
