From family to friends to co-workers.
I'm always asked the infamous questions.
Why help?
Why volunteer?
Why not finish your degree?
I don't do it out of pity, or
To add to my resumé.
To see the smile on their faces.
To let them know the world is not filled with evil.
To allow the children the so called
"American Dream"
That is the happiness I get.
They say I have never been homeless,
Or that poor.
And yet I have ridden that line.
I have even dipped my toes,
In that icy water.
I do not except to change the world
I do not except them to remember me
I just want people to know,
Some of us actually care.
Will I finish my degree?
Or will I keep roaming this world,
Doing what little I can?

And I don't mean that the people who don't volunteer, or who volunteer just to have it on their resumé, don't care. Many do and yet many can't do anything. Hopefully my 3 yr tour will be successful from New Orleans to Haiti(again) to Libya.
I thank Americorp and the Peacecorp for giving me this chance.
