Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of bringing six students to Pet’s Inc. in West Columbia for my first Fill-the-Van of the semester. All of the students were volunteering just because they wanted to, not for service hours or anything.
It was awesome seeing all of the volunteers taking out the dogs, playing with them, even cleaning up after them. My favorite part was when it was time to head back to campus, I had to peal the volunteers of of the animals to get them to leave.
That is truly service. One of my favorite quotes from Gandhi is:
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
I was able to see first hand six students losing themselves in this service to these animals that they had just met the first time. To me, that is what service is truly about.
If you’re interested in serving and too losing yourself at Pet’s Inc. you can volunteer there anytime from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
