Pictures in Time

If you could take one picture to send back in time (up to 100-150 years ago), what would you photograph, who would you send it to and why?

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

"The Dark Knight Rises" is the conclusion of this trilogy of Batman movies and anyone who knows me, knows that I loved Batman growing up.

In this Batman series, Bruce Wayne gives up a tremendous amount to help Gotham. He endures physical pain and risks his life regularly. His “Bruce Wayne” reputation is one of a shallow billionaire, and he had to sacrifice his “Batman” reputation in the last movie.

How much would you be willing to give up to help your community? Think about small ways you could sacrifice to help other people in your day-to-day life. Could you sacrifice some of your free time as a volunteer or to be more involved in school? Could you sacrifice your reputation to befriend a classmate? Could you sacrifice some money or possessions to help the less fortunate?

List at least five ways you could sacrifice small things to help others.
