Goal
I'm going to give up texting for the ENTIRE month of February. That's right, NO texting!
Starting at Midnight on February 1 through midnight of March 1, I will not send out any text messages from my phone.
I can still receive text messages, so feel free to send me one! ;) But I will only respond via phone call, email, facebook or other means.
Updated Rules: Just to keep this going and make things more interesting, I've added another condition! For the entire month of March (March 1-31) I will only text people who have donated to the campaign! :)
Now... this applies to anyone who has donated in February, as well a anyone who donates in March. And it applies to any donation amount, so there's no minimum requirement or anything. Simple as that!
I chose this goal because
If you spend a lot of time around me, you probably know what an addict I am. I've got my phone in my hand most of the time, if it isn't resting somewhere that I can see it. I check it all the time, I send out random messages all day long, and I engage in day-long text conversations with various friends.
But I know that it's a bad habit. It's rude to my friends and family, it's dangerous when I'm driving, and it's irresponsible at work or while I'm busy with something. So... I'm going to see if I can break my nasty habit while raising some dough for a good cause ;)
I'm helping because
I just want to help people however I can. I don't know what the best way to do that is, but I'm trying all the time and I feel this is a really good one :)
I've been volunteering with ATC since May of 2010 and I immediately felt a connection with their mission. At the Crossroads believes that everyone deserves to live the kind of life that THEY want to live--not the kind of life that they are told they should want.
I think that everyone deserves a chance to figure out what they want to do with their life, and we all deserve access to information and resources to help us figure that out. ATC works with their clients in a no-pressure environment and offers as much support/guidance as is welcomed, without ulterior motives or agendas.
Why should YOU help out?? Here are some possible reasons:
A) You support ATC's mission and really want to help homeless youth in San Francisco
B) You support any cause that leads me to put down the damn phone :P
C) Maybe you are trying to impress me or get on my good side? ;)
D) You just have extra money lying around and you REALLY want to donate it but aren't sure where
E) You're bored
F) You're rebelling against your conservative parents who don't support "charities" ?
G) You just want me to shut up and leave you alone already with all these fundraisers ;)
H) Building up that good karma for 2011, baby!!!
