If you're like me, you don't usually talk, even in discussions, because you either don't feel that your opinion is important enough or you just don't have an opinion on a subject. Well, that's how I usually am, anyway. That's why today was like a nightmare. I had to not only give my opinion on a subject, but also discuss why I came to my decision.
Today, I volunteered to be on the grant distribution panel for the United Way. It sounded pretty simple, because I figured I could do enough math in my head to figure out a reasonable distribution for most of the people, but these companies and groups that really wanted money from the United Way. In fact, a ratio of amount asked to amount available was like almost 3:1. That, to me, just seems ridiculous. Why are there so many people asking for so much money, and why isn't there more money in the funds of the United Way to give away?! I guess I haven't really experience the real world, yet. Since I am stuck in the mindset that even if there is a lack of money, that it can easily be dealt with, I didn't expect this sort of event to occur. Still, I guess it's a good experience to learn about the distribution of money in a nonprofit.
Well, I'm tired and I have a lot of homework to do now. I'll just end this post here...
