On CORE Day, Anna participated in a discussion group about volunteering, how to become involved in your community, and how working toward the common good can raise your happiness quotient.
The best part of my CORE Day experience was meeting new people and getting to know them. Hearing people's opinions on different things and how they react to different subjects, compared to what I was doing in my classes, is different and nice. And it's a switch of our daily routine.
I did the discussions on volunteering and making different relationships. At the volunteering discussion table, we talked about why we liked volunteering, different kinds of volunteer work we've done, and different ways being a volunteer can bring happiness to lives.
I've volunteered packing boxes at NuDay Syria. It's a nonprofit company where they get clothing, food, and medicine donated, and I help them pack the things in boxes and ship them off overseas. I am much more fortunate than a lot of people in the world, and I feel like since I have the time and money to help people, I should.
