Serving communities

So I recently joined a club at my college called Circle K International. This club is a community service oriented club. Note this, I never did community service before I joined. Then after I joined, I've clocked in a whole ton of volunteer hours.


Many people know that college's look for community service when you apply. They don't just want to take in a student that had high grades but did nothing outside of school. Most students (like me) don't like serving because of the awkwardness one can feel when you don't know anybody and you are doing it. Also many people would think it is boring. But honestly in my experience of doing it since March of this year, its super rewarding. You meet a whole lot of new people. You even meet friends that will most likely be there for you for life. Not only that, but you'll meet some adults that will be better than most people that can advise you and even find you jobs because they know your dedication.

My main point in writing this is to say, whenever any of you get to college or even those of you currently attending one, find out if you have a Circle K club. Most likely you will. And if not, find some friends that would like to create one and you could charter your own. You could always go to the main website of Kiwanis International to search for your local Kiwanians contact number. (Note that Kiwanis is the adult level, Circle K is the College level, Builders club being adolescents, Aktion club is the level for adults with disabilities Kiwanis/K Kids is basically elementary school ages, and last but not least Key club which is high school level.) It will really pay off in the end. I've already been awarded a plaque for stepping up in hard times for my club and being a great secretary for my club.

The Outcast

This is the next part in a series of posts about what I think I am... For awhile now, I've noticed that I slowly have been drifting from the social norms and the family norms. And of course, when you  do that, you tend to lose the relationships with people with whom you've been close with. People tend to drift/distance themselves from you.

Be A Legend

In the song above titled The Believer , singer John Legend and rapper Common speak about how they plan to grow to be legends and kings in what they do (Sing and rap). They mean kings hypothetically of course. They speak in a double entendre. I said before they want to be kings but not Kings as in king of England they mean that they want to be looked up to by everyone else due to the powerful words that they speak. And thus, the moral of this post: Live to be a legend. Many people tend to live their lives at a limit. For example many people take a job but do not try their hardest to be the best at it to the point where other people look up to them. And personally, I feel as if the reason why many people do not do this is because they are afraid of the conflicts they will attract throughout the process. Many people do not want to fight against the opposition. They would rather limit themselves so they don't have to face it at all. Another example being a personal one: “I

The Non-Believer

We being human beings grew up believing in various things. Just to name a few; whether there is really a God, whether the government in our respective countries is hiding things from us that we ought to know. But we never really ask ourselves the big "w". Why? Why do we believe in such things. Why don't we try to question reality. I for one have started to question just about everything lately. Here's a list of things I have questioned so far about the life we live: Is there really a God? Are we really alone in the universe? Do our governments really have information to hide about secret projects? Are we just a simulation, or a dream? And if so, who is the dreamer? The Holy Bible (Christianity's holy book)
