It's come to my attention that there really is such a thing as "being in the right place at the right time." As I have continued to be here in Rexburg and live surrounded by single college students dealing with an array of emotional and physical challenges, I have found myself doing unusual things at odd times of the day only to find someone in dismay in need of a listening ear. While my impact is often simply no more then a "sorry, I know how you feel" or "well, that sounds like that bites. I've never dealt with that but I'm sure it stinks" or even " I think you should talk to you Bishop," time and time again, I am reminded that we are not sent to life to further the progression of our selves, but in turn, help others reach their ultimate potential as well.

There is an overwhelming humbling sensation that comes to me after I do something that I typically will not do, and the effect is in favor of someone else. Whether it's walking home a different way to stumble upon a stressed friend, or staying a little longer after class to find someone didn't understand the teachers explanation. The examples of being there when someone needs me and I didn't know it go on. As I continue to recognize how often they occur in even every day to day life, I am amazed the impact I have on the lives of other people. Watching these moments reinforces to me that I cannot simply walk through life expecting and waiting for someone else to make a difference in my life , but I must strive to make a difference in someone else's life.
