How?

Sometimes I ask myself this question. How? How do I do things? How am I able to complete tasks? How am I able to sleep at night? How am I able to be the person that I am?

Over the unexpected hiatus, I have done the following things:

2. Had a meeting with the president of the board of directors for my internship
3. Assisted with a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization

35. Have been thanked and praised by my coworkers at the nonprofit I work at where I strive to support them in any way I can because they are passionate about the cause

Among the listed things I attended classes, completed projects, worked regular hours at my jobs, and attended meetings as needed.

I never see the things I do as things that deserve to be praised, I just do things because they need to be done and I try to do them to the best of my abilities. Simply put I am just living my life to try to be the best that I can be at the end of the day.
