Motivation
"We might not act on what we proclaim, but we will most certainly will live what we believe." John Lane was a very likable guy. You can tell that he is really passionate about everything he does, even if he doesn't fully express it. I thought is was clever of him to research the history of volunteerism. I had never thought of the origins of it but it makes sense that it began with the Romans along with the origins of democracy.
Mr. Lane reiterated for me the fact that I am constantly hearing in these forums this semester: the more you are involved with the community, the more connected you are and it is a substantially effective networking tool. I loved what he said about Billy Reid.
My best friend, Hannah is a Fashion and Theatre major and when she was in high school she would walk by Billy Reid clothing store downtown and practically drool. She would talk about how great it would be to intern for him. When I told her the story that Mr. Lane told us she loved it.
Mr. Lane also spoke about Camp McDowell and that same friend, Hannah has been there as well as her little brother Silas. My heart gushed when I heard about the addition they are making, Bethany Village. I really love what they're doing and that the section is name has biblical significance. I also have great respect for Mr. Lane and his family for sponsering it.
Motivation is something that a lot of college students struggle with but it can be an amazing thing when you find it and put it to good use. Mr. Lane has a lot of motivation for what he does and it was refreshing to hear him speak about it.
