   PROMPT May 6th Write about a community service or volunteer experience you’ve had in your life that made an impact on you. None. I realize that makes me look like an asshole, so I'll elaborate so that I look like even more of an asshole. It's not that I've never done such things. Especially in college and just after, I tried doing things like volunteering at a soup kitchen and doing some work with Habitat, but those didn't last long and I can't say they made an impact on me except, maybe, to reinforce for me just how much I hate doing work, regardless of how good a cause it supports. Also, I've never been in trouble with the law (well, not serious trouble), so I was never sentenced to anything like community service. And I am fully aware that I'm extremely fortunate to have never been on the receiving end of volunteering or community service, so I can't say they've made an impact on me from the other direction, either. No, I'm committed to being lazy. So when I get the inexplicable urge to do something beneficial for anyone other than myself, it's usually with money or property, not *shudder* work. I do have to admit, though, that sometimes, at least in the Before Time, I got it in my head that it might be good to volunteer at the animal shelter. I'd get a rare chance to socialize with other people, and more importantly, maybe pet some kitties. But then I remember exactly how much I despise picking up doggy-doo (the primary reason I don't have a dog is I won't do that), and I'm pretty sure they make all the newbies pick up doggy-doo. Well, that, and it would be impossible for me not to adopt all the kitties. |
