What is the most inspiring thing that has happened to you?

Travelling to Hong Kong as a kid with the family. Being exposed to a new culture and being able to share these experiences at such a young age with my family was like nothing else.
Where do you volunteer or give back to in the community?
I try to attend charity functions such as Relay for Life or Run for the Cure.
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
