It feels like forever since the last time I sat down to write.
Over the past few months I have been making incredible changes to my life, and just working on becoming a better person, in every sense of those words. It's been a tough little while, but I'm so excited for the changes I've made, and the strength that I have found in my family and my friends.
This year, I have a loaded plate, and there's nothing I love more than a loaded plate. Not only am I putting in volunteer hours at the University through Students' Union, OCD, and the Women's Center, but I am also planning to work on building up my community repertoire. I want to begin working in some of the local women's shelters. One of the things that I want to accomplish before my life is over is to start a women's shelter, and it's a goal that I can only reach if I start aiming for it now. Unfortunatly, to do work in the shelters means that I need to be a lot older. So I am currently looking for volunteer positions in other areas that are somewhat similar.
I have to give a shout out to the Volunteer Action Center. They do an incredible job of putting together a searchable database. Please do check them out at: www.volunteerkw.ca
I am going to be continuing to search for opportunities to really broaden my skill set and help out within the community. Hopefully I will be able to find an organization willing to work with my limited schedule, and that will help me to make a huge impact in the community!
I'll keep you all posted!
