Community service

My service and leadership has not only given me experiences I will cherish for a lifetime, but has also enabled me to become an advocate for others and to promote issues that are of importance. In my school my leadership has helped bridge gaps between people. One example of how I accomplish this is with the Cultural Awareness Club I initiated. As a result of the club, my peers consider our school to be more inclusive of them and our student body more accepting of diversity. The outlook of the…

I do not believe that all United Sates citizens should be required to to preform at least one year of community service by the time they are thirty years of age. Forcing someone to help when they aren't willing can do more damage than good. If the person does not want to help they shoulfnt be forced to do so. Volunterring comes from the heart of the person, if their heart is not it, it will not be benificial to the people receiving the help. Most people tend to volunteer at churches,…

On April 15th I had the great pleasure of experiencing a service at a Mosque with Sarah. Upon first arrival the building seemed much like any other place of worship I have seen. The difference is that I actually went in and before I did go in, I had to do something I have never done before. I have always thought that the head coverings that most woman wear were really cool. Wearing one was actually fun, even if a little difficult since I seemed to have forgotten a hairband. Going in there was no…

My parents raised me to be aware of my surroundings, to always be of service to those who ask, but most importantly to be of service without being asked. Being raised this way made me a spontaneous volunteer, and though I have participated in organized volunteering, much of the volunteer work I do is doing things such as making snowmen one minute and the next minute shoveling a neighbor’s driveway for fun. Another time, a man came down our street collecting bottles for money, and after finding…

Community service is something I have grown up doing. Throughout my life I have volunteered a lot of my time to organizations within my community. I have served at the community soup kitchen, helped young Monett Water Thrasher Swim Team members improve their strokes, and volunteered as a table worker at Monett High School and Monett Youth Club wrestling tournaments. I have always been very involved in helping individuals within my community. I feel as though performing community service as a…

United States should not require citizens to perform one year of community service by the age of 30. Mandatory service would make it unfair to the ones who start successfully early in their lives. People would then have to worry about what would happen if they did not finish their mandatory service before the required age.Like the passage states, " How would the government ensure that each person completes one full year of community service?" Some people have busy schedules and can't…

I will describe my personal history of community services by first introducing my services in middle school, and then diverging when I reach high school years. Most of my services began as aiding friends in their community services or as forms of tutoring, but more recently, I began to organize and hold various events, as well as volunteer at shelters and hospitals. In middle school (specifically 8th grade from around December to June), I tutored two classmates in math (Algebra I) for a few…

Heart Community Center serving the poor in the community around me. I packaged food into bags to give out to those who needed it, then sorted clothes onto different racks in order to give out clothes to people who needed them the next day. This would allow them to focus on more important matters, such as paying for other necessities or trying to better their lives, and would help give them the same opportunities afforded to me. I picked this service because it impacted those in communities…
