I Volunteered

What do you do to be involved in the community?

I prepared taxes for free with two institutions here in Honolulu for almost a decade.

I also volunteered as a paralegal for the Hawaii State Bar Association, the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, and the Volunteer Legal Services of Hawaii.

And there are two to three more associations, institutions where I have given my time either as a tax preparer or a paralegal.

Currently, I am a sustaining member of another institution. I am a monthly giver. With a little amount from my paycheck, I am a part of something bigger than myself—-for that I am thankful.

Here, on WordPress, I have my humble ways of giving back to our community; but for modesty reasons, I rather keep it to myself.

Why Am I Giving Back?

I don’t expect reciprocity nor accolades. It’s just that I realized the need to do so. Most importantly, it gives me a purpose and my life a meaning. Rather than wallowing to my difficulties and challenges, I get involved in worthwhile causes.

In the end, I found my passion and pursued higher education, thinking I wanted to give more. I am grateful for the privilege; because not everyone can give.

To God be the glory!
