Create opportunities for other people. Chapel Hill and the University community offer many ways for students to make an impact in the community. While you are here this summer, volunteer to be a Big Brother or Sister or help serve food at the local sou p kitchen. You never know what kind of impact you can have on another person. Pardon the cliche, but you just might be the wind in their sails.
Every day is an opportunity in itself.
Sometimes, we all get too caught up in petty problems and let life pass us by. There are times I will let something as simple as a traffic jam ruin my day. We should all look to the bigger picture and realize life is about so much more than bad hair days, bad commutes and waking up on the wrong side of the bed. We don't know where this road goes or where we will end up. Life is a long journey made up of many experiences.
