Re: Volunteering
I went to a catholic high school we were required to do a ton of "volunteering". I did mine at my mom's preschool, setting up computers, and teaching the kids, it was fun, more importantly I started to do more later on, I volunteered at a now defunct chilren's home, basically doing nothing more than holding, babies, most of them were abused/had a drug dependent mom, so they were going through withdrawals, and would do nothing but cry, when they got old enough it was sad, because, basically they got so attatched that once you left they would start crying again. I also did habitat for humanity with my mom, but I didntn do anything other than fetch tools and sweep, as im just horrible at that stuff. Eventually, when my little brother gets a little older, and I dont have anyone to teach all these cool life tricks to, Im going to do big brother/big sister, I have a friend that does it now, and he cant say enough good things about it. I also have done some random holidy voluteering when I was in HS/college, soup kitchens, delivering christmas presents, etc.
