Improved Essays
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned from the Interact Club. Connecting with others and solving problems did not come from self-help books or a wise mentor, but rather from community service in a club.

Don’t take things for granted. Consider your actions before advancing. Forgive others. Ignore surrounding negativity. Be spontaneous. Make memories often, make them every day. Be bold. Make time for friends. Everyone needs help sometimes. There’s always time for a nap!
Be a little spontaneous. Don’t watch life happen,
