This is who I am.

What I like best? Entertainment. Anything without entertainment is boring, obviously. I especially like to watch anime, which is entertainment as well. I can’t imagine life without entertainment. I don’t think it’d be worth living. What I like least? Insects. Spiders. Any of those small disgustingly shaped creatures. If I could name one flaw in this world, it would be the creation of this abomination. If there was a God in this world, I’d send a complaint right away. Just the thought of insects sends me on edge. I identify myself by how I look. That should be the normal answer. Well, I’m a quiet person normally. Roles I play in life? I’m not sure. I really don’t want a role, and would just like to live quietly. I don’t like to stand out in the crowd. The thought of fitting in or not is uncomfortable. Who is important to me? My family. Reason being that if one of them died one day, I would be torn apart. Someone who isn’t important couldn’t possibly have that affect on me. What am I afraid of? Plenty of things I suppose. Afraid of embarrassing myself in front of a crowd, the loss of a loved one, losing my position in society, and being a homeless beggar. What makes me happy? Getting what I want. For that reason, money is a necessity. No money means no entertaining things to buy. Which means a boring life. What’s important to me? My family, for they support me no matter what I do. I don’t think I would be able to get this far without their help. A moment that I felt embarrassed with was when I passed gas in the middle of class. I’m sure anyone would feel the same. A moment in my life when I felt empowered was when I knew something someone else didn’t, like how to solve math problems I guess. My personal motto is to live life freely without stress. How’s it going for me right now? Academically, alright, I guess. Honestly, I’m worried about English. Doing essay papers is a pain. My procrastination level is over 9000. Not sure if that’s something to be proud of… What I enjoy most in our college is the clubs.

This is who I am.

The Light the Night walk was an extraordinary experience. I don’t normally participate in these kind of events. It was fun walking with friends during the night, supporting leukemia. It was kinda chaotic as well, especially at the beginning where half of the group got caught up in a protesting march. That just made it more fun and exciting. I wouldn’t mind doing another one of these events if everyone else is up for it.

Basically what is being said in the article “A Time To Serve” is that a republic needs the cooperation of its citizens in order for it to thrive. It then proceeds to make points on how important it is for citizens to actively participate in society, and then how in recent years more people were volunteering.
A “universal national service” plan is suggested, which is suppose to help “get citizens involved in civic life” in order to keep the republic. Its 10-point plan is indeed helpful, and should really improve our society quite a bit. What caught my attention was the “Education Corps”, as it aimed to help children to graduate, and not dropout.

What should be noted however, is that this article was posted around 4 years ago. Was any of this put into practical use? I’m not really sure.
