I have noticed the same thing with the students on the management board of Curtin Volunteers. Almost all of these students study full time, work and find the time to manage a student run organisation. It certainly is these passionate people that give their spare time, who end up being the extremely successful people like yourself. I would encourage anyone to take a page out of your book and give a bit of their time to the community. The benefits (both skills developed, and relationships formed) are well worth the time, although for most people it's the personal satisfaction of helping someone else. Thank-you for your thoughts.
