Doing Good for Good
My life flows like water. I let things work themselves out as I know I only have partial control of each situation. An opportunity presents itself to me as if it is supposed to happen at a specific time and place; I love the thought of living spontaneously in the now of life. I think it’s better to take life as it comes and to take life with a grain of salt, nothing lasts forever so cherish what it is and can be. I am fueled by my passion and I love finding the deepest of connections to myself and others inside and outside of my comfort zone. Much of my personality is an assertive adventurer and explorer, I enjoy getting out and experiencing new things that I have yet to experience, especially experiencing those things with the people I love to be around. Everyone needs their adventure buddy.
My Why statement is “to understand myself so that I can complete my personal legend.” Some of the most important things on my TPopper are family, skateboarding, being outdoors, and traveling.
There are a lot of defining moments in your life; all of these defining moments help you grow. Some of those defining moments have been having a great supportive and loving family, skateboarding, having amazing friends that have positively impacted my life. We as humans take these defining moments so that we can give meaning to our ideas and understandings. Each one of those defining moments has shown what it means to do good. For me, doing good is the act of doing something that doesn't only benefit you but others around you. "Do good" has the connotation to do good by yourself or others. Doing good can be as little as just being positive for your own well being and for others because positivity is contagious. Doing good can even just help peers with their project or assignment. Doing good is just purely having a positive manner for others to feed off of.
Over the past 10 weeks, there have been a couple of moments that have inspired me to “do good.” One of those moments was talking with my Sound of Music immersion coach Jun. Whenever I needed any help with an assignment or even just talking about what’s going on in our lives, Jun helped me in any way I needed and that inspired me to reach out to more people and see if anyone needed help. Not every inspiration has to come from somewhere big, I was inspired just by simply talking to my coach and that made me want to do the same for others and DO GOOD.
