I was not expecting the enrichment workshop to be very interesting or helpful but I was pleasantly surprised. We were shown a video about how helping others often makes us feel better and even live longer. The professer used the phrase “It’s good to be good… and science says it’s so.” I like the phrase a lot and I think it is 100% true. In my personal experience I do find that when I do something nice for someone else for no particular reason, it makes me happy. I felt this way about the NY Cares project and this workshop inspires me to volunteer again.
