At our last class session, we decided to meet as a group on thursday to discuss our plans for the wooden compost bins, and to get information for how we take action on how we can make it possible for us to go through with our plans. I met Vanessa and Alyssa outside of Dudley Moorhead Hall, two hours before our class starts, and we began to find a place to sit down and talk about what we need to do. Finally, we went up to the second floor of Dudley Moorhead Hall, where the sociology office was…
Participating in community services has become a big part of the world we know today. The service can be as small as picking up garbage along the side of the road, or as big as traveling to different countries to help with natural disasters.

In the 40/8 veterans organization, the people who work there make food for veterans to eat. I help out by washing the dishes. I also help out my church by assisting and participating in holiday plays, arranging food to be served every other Sunday, and…
sure we didn’t run out of anything and order more of something if it was selling fast. It was a simple task, but as the lines got longer and the more impatient students and parents got, that simple task became stressful.

for a child or children living in the immediate community. In Lancy (2015), he best describes this when he is trying to match the children to their mothers. In this case, the children are as comfortable with their biological mother as they are with any of the other women in the group (p. 120).

The passing…

They raised my three brothers and me to always take the opportunity to help others who were in need through service work. In the year 2007, we began…
