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)

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