The enrichment workshop wasn’t something I was looking foward to because I had to stay longer in school than usual. I went into the workshop knowing nothing and left with a new perpespective. The professor talked about how helping others is basically helping yourself, because you’ll live longer. You’ll feel better about yourself and won’t become depressed. People who help others have a more positive mindset and feel happy with life. After hearing the professor’s words of encouragement, I realized that he was right. It did felt good when I helped the eldery during my new york cares project. It only took a small part of my time but made me feel good about myself. The professor helped a lot with improving our look on life and volunterring.
