Volunteering / Community Service
My parents always said “Treat people the way you would like to be treated yourself.” A very simple rule that we can all live by. Helping others, my profession, and my community is just the norm. Do you really need to be recognized for everything you do? Personally… the answer is no.
If you see garbage in your park, do you pick it up? If you see a person that needs help, do you walk or drive by? If you see something in your community that requires repair, do you report it?
