Saint Michael's Open House

This weekend I was lucky enough to be able to participate in an open house for prospective students as a representative of the MOVE program. Anyone who knows me knows that MOVE(which stands for Mobilization Of Volunteer Efforts for the uninformed) is a large part of my life and something I take very seriously. Being involved with MOVE is what first gave me the knowledge that I wanted my life to have some form of community outreach, whether it be through my employment or my daily life, but preferably both.
I hadn't truly realized the impact MOVE has had on my life until the open house, when we were handing out these handy temporary tattoos. One of which I received last year, and have kept in my wallet ever since.

These three principles, the head, the heart, and the hand, have guided my actions in a way that I have not realized. They have caused me to examine everything I do. To think about why I am doing something. They cause me to look for the beauty in it all, and to find the passion in what I am doing. They cause me to take action, and to not just sit and let everything pass by. I realized on Saturday that my future needs to be the same. I need to think about what I am doing, if my heart is in it, and if so, I need to set out and do it. It really is something to live by.
