...all by myself

Throughout the class, I was completely comfortable learning about the social responsibility that everyone else was expected to have. I knew very well that the world wasn’t perfect, but I always just considered it to be someone else’s job to fix things. Of course, if I was asked to help, I wouldn’t object; but I didn’t feel it necessary to reach out and discover what I could do on my own. Then we had the “personal responsibility” lecture. It didn’t necessarily make me feel bad about the way that I live my life, but it definitely made me think. I have been learning what to do for the earth and the community for the entire semester, but what happens when there isn’t someone there telling me exactly what I can do to help? It was really encouraging to know that I’m strong enough to begin something big and to know that I don’t need someone else to show me how. I can help in whatever way I feel is important, and I can do it however I feel is effective. Thank you Erin (and class), for teaching me and growing me into a better person.
