Action
Everyone loves to talk, and it's easy to do it. People can talk about what they are going to do, but it does not mean much if they do not act upon it. Action is the process of doing something to achieve an aim. If you want things to change and achieve the things you want in your life or your surroundings, you must take action. Taking action is taking things to the next level.
During my first year of college, I planned on taking action by doing things with the greatest respect. I wanted to live by one of the values I cherished most, which is "to whom much is given, much is expected." I have been given so many blessings in life, and one of the biggest is being the first to attend college in my family. I want to continue living by my values, and so I want to give back by taking action. I really want to continue helping people and making them feel good about themselves; as a result, it also makes me feel good.
During my time in the Freshman Leadership Program, I volunteered at Kids Can and Precious Memories. Let me tell you, the kids are adorable and fun! Kids Can is an after school daycare for students. Most of the time when my group and I are there, we helped them with their homework, play games with them, and do creative crafts. At Precious Memories, the charitable child daycare, we mostly play with the kids and just spend time with them. I learned something valuable while volunteering at the two places. I realize that doing service does not have to be big because doing a simple act of kindness is already a big deed.
Throughout my time at Creighton, I want to continue giving back to others. I really hope I figure out what I'm truly meant to do with my life whether its being a doctor, teacher, or CEO. I want to make a difference by doing something that I love.
