Hitting Home

It' s incredible to think that people like Chris help people every day. It's also incredible to think that they can maintain a positive outlook on life and keep going. I admire people like him for doing what they do. Chris' presentation made me consider wanting to help out, but I'm not sure if I could stomach some of the things that he has seen. I'm looking forward to possibly helping struggling teens, more like Dr. Hollist, but there is this whole other world out there than just the ones that come into an office. The presentation definitely opened up my eyes to a lot more things, including drugs and homelessness within Lincoln. It's easy to live your life with your eyes closed, and the saying "ignorance is bliss" isn't out there for nothing, but not knowing that those things are out there is worse than knowing. And not trying to make the world a better place for someone is a waste. So, thanks Chris, your talk was much appreciated.
