Why I help

I have been looking for part-time jobs. While I enjoy my internship, it does not pay the bills. One posting asked me to describe why I like to help others. This is my answer:

"I have always loved helping others. It began with the tingling sensation of knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life and then grew into a deeper understanding of what helping really means. Helping someone else means helping my community and myself. It is sharing knowledge, privilege and skills to provide each other with the means of creating a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. It is a partnership of learning and appreciation for the experience each person has to offer. This communication, mutual learning and support of one another reflects into the community at large. Thus, creating a happier, healthier and more sustainable society."
