Impressionable young minds

We often have teenagers volunteering at North Beach Medical Equipment.  Sometimes it's because they have gotten into a little trouble and the courts said that they could perform community service hours.  Usually, it is part of their schools graduation requirements to get into the community and do some good.  Either way, I really enjoy it when they are working with us.

No, they aren't the most productive, and often they don't know how to operate a broom, but they are full of promise and their future is wide open.  Quite often they have never volunteered before and have little experience in putting others ahead of themselves, but with us, they get to see the joy of being helpful, of lifting others up when they have fallen, and learning that compassion and empathy towards others is a good thing and that it feels good, deep down where no one else can see it.  They learn that doing good is a good thing to do, that it is the right thing to do, and there is a huge need for people to do it.

I hope that in the short time that they are with us, there will be seeds planted, seeds that will blossom and bear fruit, not just now, but for generations to come.

I'm really happy for these young and helpful adults. Even at a young age, they're already committed to helping out. I'm glad and I'm proud of them. Their parents must be very happy for them, because of their hard working and kind children. It's quite rare to see the younger generation, be as outspoken and helpful as them. I hope that they continue to help and never stop on reaching out.
