~:[CH11 - Day 68]:~ Selflessness
Pennies 4 Patients has always been a special time for me. To see my students make an effort to give to others, sacrificing their afterschool snacks or drinks or this and that is amazing. Today a group of my students challenged each other and matched each other's $20 donation. These days always remind me of my advisor who passed away from cancer. While he may not have passed away from Leukemia or Lymphoma, it still has a connection and thus, I always put a little extra effort into supporting and making this our call to action. I was so proud of my students today and seeing them make that effort melted my heart inside. We learn a lot about the world and what countries can do to help the situation and it was nice to see so many students step forward and show that they too wanted to chip in and help those who are less fortunate or in greater need.
