Right now, as a senior graduating in December, I’ve started thinking more intentionally about what giving looks like in my life. Before this class, I never truly contemplated what selfless giving would look like for me. Outside of the occasional organization volunteering, it was hard to be intentional with my time and money as a busy college student. Since taking this class, I’ve realized that giving should be consistent and reflect what I truly care about. My Goal: Once I’m employed, I hope to give about $100 a month to a nonprofit. Ideally one that I’m actively involved in. I also want to volunteer about an hour each week, whether that’s at a library or with local organizations, because especially this semester, I’ve learned that giving time can be just as meaningful as giving money. I would even like to integrate giving into my weekly routine, like participating in food drop offs while grocery shopping if available. Something as simple as picking up an extra pack of pasta is a small but intentional way to give in my day to day life. In the meantime, even though I don’t have much to give financially, I still want to stay engaged. After this class, and going into my final semester where I have a bit more free time, I want to be intentional with how I use it. I’d love to volunteer with Elizabeth House Maternity Home, since that organization really stood out to me and aligns with the kind of impact I hope to make.
