The virtues you acquire in college should not be for your own benefit or glory. Following Christ’s teaching of “not to be served, but to serve”, all your talents should be used to serve others. Therefore, during your time at college, after completing your coursework, you should participate in various student organisations to develop your spirit of service and leadership skills, so that you can contribute to society in the future.
