Giving Back
October 7, 2008
Lately I have been feeling like I should do something good for society. Something completely unselfish – something that is in some part contributing to the betterment of society.
A friend told me, during a time when I needed to talk to someone, to think about who I want to become and what I would like to accomplish. Even though most of my time has been spent studying for exam after exam, I think I have come up with a few things, albeit I haven’t written them down for easy reference…
Anyway, (I need to cut this short as I am exhausted and I have a long day tomorrow) I have been thinking of doing a walk for breast cancer. Five miles. I suppose it isn’t completely unselfish… I have to admit I would feel proud of myself for even participating let alone walk five miles, not to mention I would feel good about participating in something that is in good faith, instead of living life for myself only.
We’ll see what I end up doing. I suppose I either need the support or the push to do things. At this moment I feel like I can’t predict how I will feel about anything hour to hour. It’s a busy couple of weeks and to be honest, it’s been emotionally rough and confusing. There’s always something to look forward to though and little things throughout the day can make all the difference…
So does the company that you have along the way…
Hey I just discovered your blog by googling “optometry school blog”. I’m a first year opto student as well, it’s great to see some comrades blogging!
