Have you ever felt that service is not related to the field you want to pursue? After reading the caption, "Young Lawyers Turn To Public Service" you might want to think again. After Nathan Richardson began to feel personal effects from the recession and received a stipend,from his company to research, travel or work in public services. Richardson choice was to do research. With interests in the environment, he decided to work for a not for profit organization called Resources for the Future. At the end of his personal statement in the article, he speaks that there is going to be a high need for resources that are cheap and affordable for consumers and a glass full of interest to come for lawyers, and I think every professional field as well.

Our Center believes that the youth ( our generation) can empower other youth and all generations to create community by doing service learning and educating students at Metro. Whatever your major may be, find a way to incorporate service into your life. Volunteering even one day a week or once every two weeks helps you to learn about your future career and feel good doing an act of kindness, bringing happiness into other lives.
Thanks for reading & welcome back to school!
