#09WriteOff Day 2: Dan Talks About Giving Back
For his first post for the The Great Write-Off of 2009 (more information can be found here), my friend Dan has written about ways to give back to our community:
As my generation moves from schooling to starting out careers, it’s important to remember to still take time to give back in whatever ways your skill-sets enable you to. Yes, we have the highest personal debt load of any demographic, and it’s important to work to pay that off as quickly as possible, but many of us have been able to build our successes based off of our involvement outside of the classroom
I’ve actually been thinking a lot about this lately. During high school and university, I was very much involved with volunteering and lately I’ve been painfully aware how long it’s been since I’ve done something to give back.
At the end of his post, Dan asks us what are we doing outside of our work and donations and whether or not we are satisfied with our level of involvement.
I’ll be answering these questions in a blog post in the near future, as I been mentally writing the post in my head for some time. There may be an announcement of some kind. Just sayin’.
Thanks Dan, for being our social concience and nudging us in the right direction. Great post!
