Volunteering is one of the most patriotic acts a person can do. Today's world has put volunteering and helping others on hold while they go chasing other types of happiness. After a long day of volunteering our feet will probably hurt, we will be sleepy and above all hungry. Every day after volunteering, I would come home, take a nice hot shower, and reflect on my experiences that day. That time in the shower helped me focus on the goals I wanted to set for myself the next time I volunteered. The most satisfying aspect of volunteering has been helping other people because it's the right thing to do. People don't realize how important it is to help others until they need help. The Salvation Army is a wonderful place where you can learn many life lessons that could impact someone's life
