Most shocking thing about Ruth donation is how much she gives to medical students letting them the option to have free education, medical collage it’s already expensive and difficult but it’s a career that is a necessity for everybody, so let them free education is a hope in every aspect.
I really like helping others and I used to contribute with my time, painting schools, planting trees or giving food in poor neighbourhoods. Now i donated clothes, shoes and accessories that don’t use anymore and are in a perfect condition.
About the quote “you can’t take it” she is giving the option for others that have money to don’t get this free access and giving to someone that really needs, showing that others can be thoughtful about it.

1. I think the most admirable aspect of donating is to do it selflessly without expecting anything in return, in this case so that medical students have the opportunity to continue their studies

2. Many times I have had the opportunity to donate different things, this year most of the time I donated clothes, food or time to different foundations. I have donated because for me it is important to share with others the things that I have and that they don't, for me it is important even if it is just donating a little of my time to share with people who need it as well as with the animals.

3. I think that the expression "you can't take it" refers to the fact that we can't take things with us, but rather the experience and what we share with other people, doing things without interest.

I would consider the most admirable aspect about donation is the selfless and considerate nature of the person donating for others in need. The impact of this donation made by Ruth Gottesman's will ensure the tuition for actual and future students, giving a great relief for them.

I have donated in different ways far from monetary like clothes, food, or old goods i have no good use but i know other people can still give some use, my mom usually save all these tipe of things during their current decluttering sessions. The mayority of this have happened in my neighborhood home when homeless or poor people come asking for these

i think the meaning of the quote "You can't take it" refers to the way she want to put the mony in good use, Ruth being already and eldery woman can't really take this money and, in a selfless desire to help people, to help her students, she did the donation.

To understand the needs and realize the lack of minimum resources for survival that some people face.
I have made food donations, toys during Christmas time, money for foundations, and I have also donated blood to family, friends, and acquaintances who need it. I do it because it is something I enjoy.
I think that this phrase refers to the value we give to things in the moment, as we can lose them at any time.

Donations are a meaningful way to show kindness and generosity to those who lack the same opportunities or resources that you have. By giving, you not only provide support to people in need but also foster a sense of solidarity and compassion, helping to create a more equitable and caring society.
I donate clothes whenever they don’t fit me or I don’t like them anymore. Someone else could need them more than me.
I think that’s a great way to view possessions in life. Sometimes we have more than we actually need, and donating is a meaningful way to share those items with people who can make better use of them.

The most admirable aspect of donating is the sense of compassion and community it fosters. It’s a way of sharing resources and offering support to those who may not have access to the essentials we often take for granted. Donations like clothes can have a profound impact on someone's life, giving them not just physical warmth, but also dignity and hope.
Yes, I donate every year. I believe that giving back is a responsibility we all share, especially when we have the means to help others. It’s a way to contribute to the well-being of our community, and it’s personally rewarding to know that something as simple as clothes can make a meaningful difference in someone's life
I think the quote speaks to the transient nature of material possessions. It reminds us that we can't take our wealth or belongings with us when we die, so it’s important to focus on what truly matters helping others and fostering meaningful connections. The quote encourages us to value experiences, kindness, and generosity over material accumulation.

1. The most adorable aspect of donation is the act the showing empathy and solidarity without expecting anything in return.

2. Yes I have donated whenever I can with clothes or food

3. Although money is important, it has no eternal value, since we cannot carry it with us. It reminds us that what really matters are the experiences.

when you decide to donate, you are putting your possibilities or advantages that the life gives you in favor to the community, to some people that born with difetents difficults in the life and are trying to get over those aspect. and the admirable is that you are giving a hand to construct a better society without expecting a prize or a recognize for your actions.

in my life I work with a foundation called "dar con amor" a place thar helps dogs that life in the streets, shelters and temporal houses. in the organization i help 1 year and donated, time, animals food and knowledge of friends and family that help in medical process for the animals.

i believe that the quote refers to the materials possesions that you only have those thinks in life and sometimes we live always wanting having more things and the life is short and in a moment all those things you can lose it, so is better put what you have in favor to the community and you receive a better compensantion in the emotional and to your life

The admirable aspect of the donation is its ability to help others selflessly, creating a positive impact on lives or causes in need.

Yes, I have donated food when I was in "lideres upb" because we were in a program to help the community at the "los cauchos" school.

The quote "you can't take it" often reflects the idea that material possessions or wealth cannot be carried with us forever she suggests focusing on what truly matters, such as education, medicine, and leaving a meaningful legacy.

the most admirable thing for me about donation is the desire to make others happy
With some people from my church, we went every Saturday to spend time with the children of some neighborhoods and we brought them food.
I think that is completely true, we all gonna die and probably the only way in that we're gonna be remembered is for the things that we have done when we were alive

the most admirable thing about donating is probably that you prefer give your “happiness” to others, and that’s another way of get our self wellbeing.

couple of years ago when i started the college, me and other friends in the program went to a children’s home, they were only girls and we take lunch with them and give them toys, we do activities and play some games too, like makeup them and do some sports.

i guess the meaning is that you won’t take nothing with you when you leave this world, and those things that we may not need can make a big difference in other’s life.

1. I would say that the most admirable thing about donating is doing it without asking for anything in return and doing it because you like to help people.

Yes, a few years ago I donated clothes and toys to a homeless family with children to try to help them.
It means that we all come into this world naked, and we will leave it the same way.

-What is your opinion of the quote “You can’t take it “?

a fact that can change your mind, when you die, you won't take anything of your goods, so why you wouldn't help people in poor situations, especial if you already have all
