Community service 2015
Community service is a great way to impact the world through simply being there to provide your service generously. Community service is a way to give back. Over this school year I have been able to do a lot. In my first year attending ROMC I thought that finishing that many hours were almost impossible. I even thought about changing schools back but overall it was the best decision and experience and I am very glad to be Bulldog. During this school year I’ve tutored others from my previous high school, helped my former band instructors, develop relationships with exceptional need adults and elders, helping make younger kids who aren’t as gifted enjoy Christmas like everyone should, and giving back with volunteering at the zoo. Spending time with students from my previous high school is okay, but when that student accepts you, as a peer that will teach you selfishly is completely different. I had a chance to spend time with a student who was on the same educational year as me and was ranked right under me when I went that school. What is amazing is because I have left an average high school and strived for something more, with that decision my learning process has increased not that it was bad in the first place. That allowed me to be able to teach things that maybe didn’t come as a easy and understanding topic to them. I personally hated to take history but because I had Mrs. Bates as a teacher my eleventh grade year, honors class was taken to a whole new level. The skills that I had learned helped my student over the time period. I also helped with ACT and SAT. To have someone first have a 14 on their ACT but when your helping them study and teach them other strategic skills that you’ve learned from your previous English teacher. All of that helped out in the end. Not only did he learn but also he appreciated and respected me regardless of age just like the band did. For the past two years I’ve assisted with band. At first as I said before, I didn’t know if

    Community service in its ideal form is a way of doing something positive for the community. When everything in the community seems to be breaking, families falling apart at the seems, economic leaders telling us to prepare for a loss of economic will, I get upset and I ask myself have we really arrived at a true and lasting definition of what community service really means. I have helped feed the homeless on many occasions through many different church groups. Very much have I enjoyed providing Christmas presents for families in distress. I’ve been part of highly organized community services like coaching troubled youth in roller hockey. This was what I knew and what I could offer to my community because I had the opportunity.…

    One item that I don’t really consider community service, Is my Friday Night Live mentoring group. In this mentoring group the high school students go mentor middle school students about staying above the influence, and helping them out. Showing them that there more to life than alcohol, drugs, suicide, and cutting. I personally enjoy spending time with the kids and doing activities with them. This program has shown me that if we try to make a small difference on someone’s life it can mean a whole new opening to them. I have taught myself that life always goes on, no matter how hard it gets. That someone out there is going to help you out if you ask for help. This program has really given me a new insight on helping people. Chris is the guy who runs this program. He seems so…

    Community service holds you back from doing certain things. High schools require 40 hours of community service in order to graduate. If you don't complete these hours, it'll keep you from moving on. Certain jobs require you to complete community service in certain tasks. Not doing such can earn you a penalty. Another example to support this claim is a quote from an article titled "The Benefits of Volunteerism, If the Service is Real", is that "there is some cynicism among people that some portion of community service is prompted by students interested more in resume-building." This goes to show that people have lost the initial purpose for community service as a pass off to make themselves look good, rather than doing it for the cause alone.…

I grow as a person each time I do community service.…

    I helped out most of my hours of community service for the Laguna Creek Junior Cardinals (LCJC) football team .What happened was in my first 4 hours of community service I helped divide recycle from trash and empty out the trash at one of my brothers football game. My supervisor for those hours for LCJC was Lora the head coach for the cheerleaders. A week later for 4 hours I clean-up and break down the facility around the field. Later next week I did the same thing for another 6 hours, setting up and putting away the facility and cleaning up afterwards. After working 14 hours for the football team I thought of what else could I do for the rest of my service hours. This is what happened, my mom suggest that I should do more service at our church and I agreed to do it. My supervisor for my service was the church pastor Charles. What happened was for 2 hours I just did the normal stuff like setting up and cleaning afterwards, like I did at my brothers football games. It was the same thing for the next few weeks, cleaning up, setting up, breaking down and also greeting people in the morning before church started. All the stuff I’ve been doing was not must but I did learn about the impotents of cleaning up the community and to serve and welcome others. This is about it for my community service for this year I lust hope that next year, I can do more for my community and I’m not just saying that, I really want to do better next year for my community…

    While high schools should encourage students to participate in community service, it should not be made a graduation requirement. If students are forced to do community service they will develop a cynical attitude towards it. Requiring community service in high school will discourage future involvement.

    The concept of requiring community service of college students as a requirement for graduation is based on the idea that communities and individuals can be helped in their development through volunteer service. Community service provides the opportunity for students to share their knowledge, skills, and abilities with someone who might not have benefited from such actions otherwise. Community service should be a requirement for college graduation because it helps to alleviate problems of society, positively molds a student's manner of thought, and helps the student achieve career goals in his or her future. When college students devote even minute amounts of their time to the community, their intelligence, compassion, and expertise can influence society in many ways that are greatly needed. There are many places in which educated help is needed, like organizations and leadership positions, instead of unskilled manual labor, which is needed, but cannot be successful if there are no volunteers to fill the specialized positions. Even a short amount of time with a service organization or a single event can expose a student to a meaningful learning experience, and that one student can impact one disadvantaged person's exist. Community service does not have just one single meaning, however it has many. Community service means something different to every person in the world. To me community service means helping not only your community, but also your school, state, and country. It means to be kind and caring to others, to help out those who are less fortunate then you. Community service is when you take time out of your life to do something that will better other people not only physically, but also mentally, and in addition will improve your surroundings. What I enjoyed most about the Greek Club in Egypt was how the people helped each other and how friendly the people were. All they thought about was how to get through the day as a team. Helping people seemed the most…

    Community service is a very important factor when it comes to improving the society. It shows how much care you show to the community when it comes to helping out the ones that are in need. As being a member of the community, I try to help out and support others as much as I can. Although community service can be very time consuming, I feel that helping out someone in my community that is in need is much more important, since the best thing a person can do is donate their time to someone. The place that I have chosen to do community service at is Chang’s Learning Center located on 17th Avenue and Bath Avenue. This place has given me a lot of experience and a wonderful time helping out the little kids that needed help with their homework.…

Because I am also in Key Club, I’m always looking for different community service opportunities.
