Noone Stands Taller Than Someone Who Stoops to Help Someone Else

Receive, receive, receive....When will you ever give back?

Many people go through life expecting a hand out from any and everybody. Taking advantage of gifts and favors, always ASKING for MORE! When will it ever be enough, when will these people begin to stop receiving and give back?

Throughout my life so many wonderful and generous people have contributed to my well being. Most never asked for any thing in return. Some asked that I repay them by helping someone else in need.

I have always felt the need to give back. I could never fully donate funds but one thing I have been blessed with is the gift of knowledge. I love to spend time mentoring younger children, helping them increase their qualitative and quantitative skills, relating to their struggles and inspiring them to complete an assignment. Some children give up the moment they try and can't figure it out. But it's when you have patience to work with them step by step, that individual assistance that they can't receive from an over crowded classroom, or a home where their single parent has to work long hours just to stay afloat, that helps trigger a light bulb and the joy you receive when that child gets so excited and says, "I got it!" That's the payoff, no monetary gain...no pat on the back, no certificate or trophy, just the thought that you made a difference in one child future, because once they understand that one word, concept, or strategy they will never forget it!

Don't get me wrong there are many ways to GIVE BACK, just make sure you do it from the heart. Look into various organizations and you will find ample opportunities to give back, from shelters to after school programs.

Remember, your character is based on what you do when no one is looking!
