Volunteer work is truly my idea of service, mainly because of the fact that no charge is incorporated into the work, keeping it centered with good intentions and pure motives. I applied this exact attitude towards my work for UIndy’s Super Saturday of Service, specifically when I was sent to South Circle Farm…

In this particular case, Bradley Smith sued Del Lago Partners, Inc. and Del Lago Partners, L.P., for the injuries he sustained when a fight broke out among customers at the Grandstand Bar, which is part of the respondents’ resort. Smith obtained both a skull fracture and brain damage. He sued De Lago on the premises-liability platform.

Non-conformists Mahatma Gandhi once said “Be the change that you want to see in the world” (Gandhi). If there is a single quote that can summarize the idea of going against the status quo this is that quote. The phrase “Be the change” suggests that someone as an individual must go against the norm in order to make a difference. Gandhi saw problem in the world he lived in and instead of doing nothing in order to stay out of trouble he made himself stand out. He spoke out when nobody else would…
