Giving Back

I don't know why, but recently I have been thinking about Trinity a lot. Partially I guess in reference to my last post. The subject of college came up again in a conversation this past weekend, which of course always takes me back. I wouldn't give up those 4 years for anything. Trinity prepared me well for medical school and life. The dorm experience and being part of the Trinity bubble for 4 years was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed watching the campus change over my 4 years there & I look forward to the day that I get to travel back to SA town to eat at those familar resturants and wander around a campus that is sure to have changed since I left.

Last night my phone rang with a 210-999-xxxx number, which signifies an on-campus number. I didn't answer because I was busy and later put together that it's Phone-a-thon season. Soon students will be calling to ask for donations for scholarships. Well tonight they tricked me. Anonymous came up on my phone tonight & the curiosity got to me - I answered it. A little while later I had donated $20.06 to Trinity in recognition of my graduation year. And you know what - it made me feel good. To give back if even just a little to a place that has given me so much.

Thank you TU and thanks to all of the amazing people I met there who shaped my experience and me.
