Parents are calling me because they don't understand how to determine depreciation on the rabbit hutch they built last year. A volunteer, one who enters into service of her own free will. I ponder that question. Within minutes, I know the answer. I always have, and always will.
Kids are our future.
Then I remember the satisfaction that I feel after one of our meetings. I love seeing the gratification on the kids faces when they set certain goals and accomplish them. I begin to get welled up. I feel honored to be allowed to actively participate in these childrens lives. Volunteering gives me such a sense of pride and accomplishment.
