For example, my current counselors made it a responsibility for all hall members to take part in ensuring that the lounge and bathroom are kept orderly to help alleviate the mess that our great janitorial staff would have to otherwise clean up.

    I have completed many hours of community service and I believe that it is my responsibility to involve myself in my community in any way possible. Getting involved in the community helps build a strong character and it teaches certain values that will benefit other communities.

Without taxpayer money, it would be impossible to maintain many of our most precious and crucial government funded organizations. If the American people allowed those organizations to fade away, we would be hurting our country and helping ourselves.…
