Scholarship Programs Could Aid Volunteerism

Our generation, as many may scathingly note, is notorious for its apathy. And while it is true that, since Sept. 11, 2001, our generations rate of community service has surpassed that of our parents generation, we are always capable of doing more.

Unfortunately, the most mundane tasks prevent us from realizing this potential for greatness. I am certain that our generation is capable of changing our world for the better, but first our hearts must be stirred to rise up to the challenge. Mahatma Gandhi once said, There are chords in every human heart. If we only knew how to strike the right chord, we would bring out the music.

The music waiting to ring in each student is muffled because these cords are pulled too tightly to make a sound — we have work to do, and when theres time to spare we have social commitments Theres extracurricular this, and full-time that — such is the life of the average Georgetown student.
