RUTH MURAR Plans Holding the event taught me about my ability to set up such a huge event (I'm not very good at it) People can make a difference even when they aren't there (the idea of transient time) thinking about how life is short and how I could be potentially wasting it because I'm doing something 'rational' and not something I love Bit of a struggle for me this year- deciding if I wanted to go into something steady or pursue my artist side Who am I? Family life has taught me the value of having a support system, and created foundations in my life that shape my personality and my future New Perspectives VOLUNTEERING Preparation 0 + - = 9 8 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 c
