Not much beats knowing you're making a lasting impact on another person's life.
When I was 19, I thought it sounded like fun to work as a camp counselor. Getting paid to play tennis, hang out at the pool, water ski and camp? Sign me up.
That fun came with the company of 36 12-year-old girls — granted, I only ever had 12 at one time. I quickly became more than just an authority to make sure no one fell into the campfire, that no one snuck candy into the cabin and see to it that no girl's shower exceeded two minutes.
These girls looked up to me, confided in me and even after camp, kept in touch with me.
As the youngest sibling in my family, I never knew what it felt like to take on a mentor role. Spending a summer with those girls gave me a
renewed self-worth, fresh perspective and — I'd like to think made me a better listener.
Whether it's volunteering in a third world country, spending a summer working at a children's camp, helping out at a homeless shelter or getting involed with something like Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentoring and volunteering offer far more than meets the altruistic eye. It's something to truly find purpose in.
Check out Taylor's story on page six to see more about what it's like to be part of Lawrence's Big Brothers Big Sisters.
As much as those 36 girls might have learned from me, I'm positive I gained more from hanging out with those 12-year-olds — I mean, one of them even taught me how to sail.

State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, to former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt — the list of candidates doesn't stop at Leach. And it certainly doesn't stop at the three aforementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.
Mike Leach was the best coach available this off-season, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.
