Volunteer

This is a post to encourage you to find a way to volunteer for something this term. Planet College is mostly about finding enough time to do all the things you need to do to stay on track to graduate. Planet College is also about finding ways to get enough money to pay for school and sustain yourself until you graduate. This in itself is a pretty tall order. Still ,this post is to ask you to find time in your over busy schedule to give what you have with no thought of return. Not for more money, not for a better grade. Just you spending some time giving yourself, your talent, your interest, your time. For free. Sound foolish? Sound bothersome with all you have to do? Well, then maybe it is. Yet many students on Planet College have found volunteering to be uniquely rewarding. Rewarding beyond the usual expectations of return for effort.
Where to volunteer? The literacy campaign at the library. The local animal shelter. After school tutoring at a local school. Reading to a resident at the Senior Center. Sorting donations at the recycling center. There are lots of possibilities. Give it some thought. You may be surprised at the rewards. And who knows it might even be fun.
