At some point in the beginning of my university studies, I started tracking my time, because I was not entirely sure of where all these hours went. How much time did I spend in school? At work? Watching TV or surfing the Internet? Something completely different? Or absolutely nothing?
I can remember, one of the categories I had for registering my time was helping others. Setting time aside and helping others in one shape or form or another. This became a focus area for me — long after I stopped registering my time (I think I stopped again after three months or so). I wanted to increase my time spent helping others — and I still want to. (So now is the time to provide me with proper feedback on how you think I can do better and improve — all input is highly welcome.)
In the summer of 2007 on a vacation to New York City, my friend Christoffer Husted and I, came up with an idea to hand out a scholarship. After some maturation, we are now live with the Husted Rasmussen & Clauber Ruwald Scholarship — perhaps the not the most inspirational name. But the idea counts much more than the name. And the idea is so much more than a scholarship, but you have to start somewhere, and everything counts.
The journey does not stop here. I want to increase my time spent helping others — and, again, your feedback on how I can do better is very welcome.
