“Doing the right thing means thinking about everybody else…Selfishness needs to be balanced by some selflessness” (175). While reading the passages, this quote stuck out to me because during my junior year I took a religion class that focused on moral decisions in many different situations. And we had to think about how this will not only affect ourselves, but also the people around us, like our friends and family. I thought the second part of the quote was important because we all are not selfish. I feel like by me going to MCCS is for a selflessness reason. I go because I want to help these kids live a better life. And when I went this week, in my first class there were more students compared to the last time I went before this week. At first nobody showed up until like 30 minutes later. I was just shocked that 3 students showed up and I was also glad that these kids actually came to class. The second class I was in was with Mr. T and was a math class. A lot more people were willing to do their work, even though most of them were playing games. There was this one student that was very interactive with the tutors; he asked for some help and really wanted to get his work done here and there. This just motivates me to get up in the morning and go to help these kids. I guess you could say this is my selfless act because that morning I was considering not going to MCCS because I had an anatomy test, the following day. I could’ve just stayed but I really wanted to help these kids, and to maybe get away from college work. The first time I went I thought it was going to be a waste of time because nobody was motivated to do anything, but this week’s classes gave me hope. And I might just go next week.
