Service for Glory

Sooo just like everyone else im not too great with poems but here's what i got from it...

The women in this poem come from an upper class sheltered environment. They had preconceived notions about what type of service they were going to be doing. They were not prepared for the reality is which they walked into. Their only motivation to serve was the glory and praise they would get from others of their own class. They had no passion for these impoverished people. Their only emotions where grotesque. They wanted nothing more than to hand money out and flee from the reality of this form of life. At one point they talked about possibly conducting their service in an area that was not wrecked with so much havoc. They wanted to serve in a cleaner environment. This desire completely defeats the purpose of service. If one does not do service to truly better the areas that so desperately need a hand then they are simply doing service for glory...

I believe that many of us will face similar circumstances in our work site. We may encounter something we are not prepared to believe. We can be faced with the choice of fleeing with "our skirts barely touching the floor" or we can square our shoulders and face it head on. One of the points of our service work is to challenge us. It is when we are challenged and forced to overcome obstacles that we truly grow as a person.
