Trying Something New
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: People


I have decided to try something new and you'll never guess what it is.

In the (recent) past I have always wanted to volunteer to do things for people who need volunteers. The problem is I don't have any money. In order to be able to devote time to volunteering, I need to have money to live off of while I am not working. So I figured that I would work and build up some money so I would end up having time to volunteer later on. Eventually working and volunteering at the same time but having a good job, from which I could take off time if need be. Sound good?

Well, it didn't work. I work here and there and that is all I can find. I have no money but plenty of time. So I am going to try the opposite of what I planned on doing. I am going to volunteer despite the fact that I have no money. I decided to volunteer time to a pool I work at developing Safety procedures. I will volunteer time to the Red Cross teaching CPR and First Aid classes. I will be volunteering my time very soon with Big Brother/Big Sisters (as a Big Brother). And I have also decided to volunteer time working with Boy Scout groups in the area, doing work with First Aid and Aquatics. I have a job guarding at the college pool in the mornings and will teaching Lifeguard Training classes on Sundays...so I have some money income.

My plan is now to do something like what I heard alot about from those religious tv shows. People who gave and gave even though they did not have anything to give. They ended up getting in return and while my goal is not to end up getting because I gave a bunch, maybe everything will turn out OK.

If it doesn't work you'll know, because the Big Blog will go under and you will never hear from he again. Sorry reader. (that's not a typo)


Happy Hunting!
