Undergraduate / "my foolish pride has kept me from doing things" - extracurricular activities or work [3]

One can learn much from volunteering, I myself volunteer at the soup kitchen every Thanksgiving and the sheer number of folks waiting in line for food continues to surprise me. Many times I see kids from my school whom I figured to have a relatively good home lives waiting in that line. Is it strange that I get depressed every time? I know volunteering is suppose to make one feel better but I feel that if it weren't for some sheer luck of the draw I would be in that line with my mom waiting for someone to put food on our plates and have strangers look at me with hollows smiles. I can't help but respect those who stand in that line anyway, forsaking their pride in order to feed their themselves, I reflect on my own life and realize that my foolish pride has kept me from doing many things I needed to do.

Tell me if you think this is a good activity to write about
