It is my opinion that every professional has an obligation to give back to their community. Accepting a license to practice law or medicine is promising to do more than just earn money. It is a promise to help those who cannot help themselves. This can be done by participating in community events, teaching, writing articles or offering one-on-one assistance to those in need.
