I love this, and I think it's the *exact* attitude we all need to have. I realized a couple years ago that before I could make any big changes in the world around me, I had to change myself first. I had to learn that my dreams won't always be fulfilled, my goals won't always be reached, my efforts won't always be noticed, and my time won't always be spent wisely. But if I am able to change this world in one small way - through making someone smile, recycling a few plastic bottles, planting some trees, etc... then I can be happy, knowing that I have made a difference. And all those little differences may just add up to one very big difference. Thanks for sharing this, Nate! And thanks to the Ohio State senior! (Go Buckeyes!) Ooh, that gave me goosebumps!!

The world does not need saving. It starts with us, if, as Ghandi said, we are the change we want to see, we'll see the world as perfect. We won't find the need to change it. It starts with us... YES!
