How I Got Started In Community

Work

And Why You Should

Step 1: All Privileged Middle-ClassWhite Kid’s Eventually Join Student Government

Step 2: NOT All Privileged Middle-Class White Kid’s Fit In With The Student Government Scene

Lesson 1: You Don’t Have To Hold A Special Position To Change Your Community, You Just Have To Give A $#%*!

Lesson 2: No Matter How Much You Hate Yourself, Helping Makes You Feel Better (Or At Least Gives You Something To Do)

The First Community Service I Did In My Adult Life Was Mandated By A Disciplinary Committee At My University

I was good at it.

By Offering To Help, People Will Let You Onto Their Team

“We don’t dial 911”

Lesson 3: Everything You Need To Create Something Amazing Is Right Here.
