And so I end my year of giving the same way I began it, with a donation to a teacher on Donors Choose. This time, I chose a project about art and Transcendentalism. When I taught American literature, I loved reading Transcendentalism with students, so I thought the donation was appropriate for me.
It's hard to believe that my little experiment is over. I'm relieved and a little forlorn at the same time. Since I can't quite give it up yet, I'm going to be posting a series of reflections about my year of donating--regrets, accomplishments, thoughts, and what not. So I will keep this blog going a little longer. Who knows, then I may start a new one. Can't wait for 2012! Looking forward to it.
I've enjoyed reading about your year tremendously and wanted to let you know it's encouraged me to take advantage of everyday small opportunities to give. I look forward to your reflections. Happy New Year!
