It is my opinion that public service is both nice and necessary. It is necessary for all citizens to be actively engaged in the success of their country by participating in activities that serve the public good, such as voting, volunteering and participating in political activities. Volunteering at a school to help educate the future leaders of our country, voting in city elections for a new mayor, and serving on a criminal court jury are necessary. It would be difficult to maintain our rights and freedoms if we are not involved. Some aspects of public service are nice. Adopting a roadway, cleaning up a park, and painting over graffiti are all things that are nice, but not necessary for the long term success and public good of the country.
