Volunteering has helped me to better understand there's more to life than money.

I knew it already, academically. But having the opportunity to actually do it... it made the idea more real, more concrete.

That's a really beautiful way of putting it. Do you experience more happiness when you help others? I've found that to be the case personally.
I have a pretty umm... interesting... history. MANY folks were a good influence in my life. My hope in my particular venue of volunteer work is to help affect some of the same change in the lives of others. It's most definitely rewarding.
