The Volunteer.

I took the plunge. I finally worked out the time in my schedule to volunteer. With the advice of my career counselor ringing in my head I stopped at my local public library and talked to the head librarian there about volunteering my time one or two nights a week.



On the way home it occurred to me that the only reason I'm giving up my precious time is so that I'll have something that looks self-sacrificing on my resume. So this brings to mind the question of whether or not these people actually exist. Are there really people out there who willingly give of their time solely for the purpose of helping someone else without expecting or receiving anything in return?
