Giving


On Giving

When I give back it gives me the opposite feeling of receiving, it does not make me happier because I have gained something, but it makes me happy because I feel a sense accomplishment. I volunteer at sportsmens tennis club and wrote my short essay about the sense of accomplishment I feel from teaching children to play tennis. Making a difference does not mean ending world hunger, it can simply be hitting a tennis ball over the net that gives one a huge sense of purpose. I really like the section of giving because it emphasizes that everyone deserves a necessity from the greater good which is a universal truth- whether it is food or personal health.
