Our Stranger Meaning

Here's a fact- no one knows for what reason we are placed on planet earth. Here's another fact- no one knows for sure what happens after we pass on to the afterlife. So why are we here? What is the meaning of our lives? What are we supposed to do? Are we supposed to do anything, for that matter? Well, like I said, no one knows, and I think it's impossible to find out. However, some people tend to stay away from wondering what humans were put on this earth to do, and rather focus on what they personally think they are here for.

Me, you ask? What do I think I'm here for? Hm. I personally think I'm here to help others. I know it sounds generic, but that's what I really think. Ever since I was a little kid I've loved to help others. By seven years old I was already volunteering in parks and food kitchens. In seventh grade I became a math and reading tutor. I especially loved that because the students' teachers returned to me the next year and told me that their grades actually improved. During the past few summers I've taken seven days out of each month to help out at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a huge warehouse that packages donated food and gives it to the homeless and hungry.

Helping others makes me feel warm inside, and I will continue to do it for as long as possible.
