Perspective Reminder This Week

by

Hurricane ReliefIt’s been a hard week for the east coast, and here in New York, the difficulties range from inconvenient to catastrophic. Volunteer and donation opportunities abound, and with neighbors in such dire need, it feels strange to write about the LSAT.

You’re hopefully already taking a break from study to vote, but if you, like me, are finding it difficult to focus when the need around us is so desperate in places, consider taking some time to step away from the test to volunteer.

Donation opportunities:

Brooklyn Community Foundation

Occupy Sandy

Volunteer opportunities in NY/NJ:

New York Cares

NYC Service

Food Bank for New York City

Jersey Cares

And for a quick read that finds the silver lining in hardship, I recommend Mei Mei Fox’s 5 Spiritual Lessons from Hurricane Sandy.
