Improved Essays
Throughout this semester I performed a total of 12 hours of service. In March, I completed 2 hours of service at the Friends for the Future Phone-a-thon. At the Phone-a-thon, I was able to give back to our school by connecting with and thanking people who generously donated to Friends for the Future. Afterwards, I performed the Spiritual Work of Mercy, pray for the living, by praying for the people who donated to our school. I chose this service because I love giving back to my school. I benefited from this service because I was able to get better at starting conversations with people who I did not know. The FCEDO Staff also benefited from my service because I helped cut back the time it would take them to accomplish this huge task. In April

    In today’s society, people are swept up in the wrath of being too prideful, or become greedy. These deadly sins deaden our religious life, causing us to distance ourselves from God’s path. Everyone must dig deep into their spiritual lives, and lend a helping hand to those who need it the most. Whether it’s simply having a conversation with a homeless person, donating money, or volunteering at a daycare for the destitute children, these charitable acts can make a huge difference in someone’s life. My service learning experience was an eye opener for me, and it made me realize how privileged and blessed I truly am.…

As students of CBA, we are called upon to do good for our neighbors. It is our moral duty to serve those in need in the name of God.…
