Making a Difference

Every year on New Years I set goals for myself, but I do not always reach them. Do you know what goals are? No, not the kid you score in football or rugby. They are instead something that you work at to achieve. We have been learning about the Pt. England Way, teaching about yourself, how you can help others, and how you can make a difference in the world.

I've decided to set three goals for myself. These goals are going to reflect the Pt. England Way!

1) Make a difference for myself: RUN!

When I was in high school, I ran everyday. Since I came to Furman I have not been running a lot. I want to get back into it to keep myself healthy and to spend more time outdoors in nature. If I had a buddy, it would be a great way to spend time with my friends also.

2) Making a difference for others: Be a friend to others!

I care about people. I want my friends to be happy and healthy. I want this goal to be to be there for my friends through anything.

3) Making a difference in the world: Volunteer!

I have been lucky because I have so many opportunities, or surroundings that allow me try new things. There are some places in the world and in our communities that children do not. I want to help these children in anyway I can. Whether it is offering a smile or planting a garden.

To finish off this post, I would like to quote the President, or leader, of the United States, Barak Obama. "Be the change you want to see in the world."





Also here is a song by my favorite band about making a difference. It's called "Difference Maker."
