A great man once said:

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Although I am, without a doubt, very passionate about the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf touches on something very important in this quote - how we should spend the time we have. People are capable of a whole range of things, some good, and some bad. I am passionate about making sure the good outweighs the bad. One of the main reasons I am in college is to learn how others live, and to learn what empathy truly means. With that knowledge, there is no selfishness – only the desire to sacrifice for the benefit of others.
