We went to church every Sunday. I do think it's my duty to give back. That's why I'm involved with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Coming from a family of preachers, the idea of giving back has been part of my life as long as I can remember.
I have always looked for ways to give back because I think it's a responsibility we all share.
I was brought up Catholic, and even as a little girl I was affected by the idea of giving back - doing something for the needy, something of significance.
We all have a responsibility, and since I've been so wonderfully blessed, I really want to share and to make life at least a little better. So every chance I get to share the gospel or uplift people, I will take full advantage of that opportunity.
I always learned to be philanthropic... to give back.
I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion.
If you are a Christian, you want to give as much as you can away. It sounds pious, but it's not a duty; it's a kind of joy.
I know it sounds cliche, but to give back is important. Sometimes we're given so much, we need to do something for other people. I think that's really important.
Why is it so important for you to give back? I honestly feel like it's our responsibility as citizens of the world to ground ourselves in selflessness and all do our part.
Yes, though I have nothing but gratitude for my upbringing in the church.
