Giving Back
“From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.” ~ Arthur Ashe
This week is going to be one long hectic week for me and my team mates. We have decided to run for project heads for a fundraising event (in my organization) dedicated to a beneficiary. It is a stressful process but I believe that if we get this project, it will be a very fulfilling one since serves a greater cause.
Recently, I have realized that student organizations can do so much. My organization has been granting scholarships to four students for the past years. This may sound cliche or normal, but what we don’t see is how large the impact it is making to the beneficiary.
We, students, should not wait for salary to make a difference. As early as now, there is so much we can do. So many opportunities are provided to us and all we need to do is to grab them.
