Day 14

Is volunteering something you do regularly? If yes where do you volunteer? If not, why not?


  No.  This is unfortunate and makes me feel a little guilty.  During high school and college, I would say I volunteered more than the average student.  I was very involved with United Way, because it gave me an opportunity to embark on alternative spring breaks around the country where I met incredible people.
  Now however, as selfish as it sounds, I have too much work to do on myself to devote work to others.  I would never turn down the opportunity if someone asked me to volunteer, but at this point I would not seek out the opportunity.  Money is super tight, I have many time constraints between working full time and going to school full time, and I'm in a transition stage of my life that I have to figure out what I'm doing with myself before I can worry about anyone else.  For the first time, I'm okay with being selfish, because I know someday I will be able to pay my debt back to society.
