Serve

Non-profit organizations serve the community in many different ways, such as day to day necessities, housing, and education and mental health. They help with day to day necessities when they give away food from food pantries for anyone in need. Food pantries can also include other items such as cleaning supplies for your home, laundry detergent, toothpaste, tissue, and soap. They have boxed food for the elderly that they may take to senior living communities to pass out. In addition to the…

The Lion’s motto “We Serve” empowers volunteers to encourage and serve their communities in any way possible. The two word motto is a statement that reminds us to put others before ourselves. As a child, my parents taught me the importance of helping others. Now, as a senior in high school I try to put this knowledge into action. I think the motto “We Serve” can apply to my life on a daily basis. Serving others doesn’t have to be a huge project; a helping hand is always needed. Opening the doors…

past. Such conservatives often convey that perhaps women should not be treated with equality because men were built to be superior. Recently, one such reason for this belief came up during a debate as to rather or not women should be allowed to serve in combat roles during wartime. Many men in the United States’ government share that women simply are not capable of handling the hell and agony that comes with war. For this reason, many believe that women should not be allowed to protect our…

This song, “Quen Serve Santa Maria,” which can be referred to as no. 213 of the Cantigas, seems to have a much more unique form than the other cantigas, which are nearly all strophic. The song opens with percussion playing a cadenza-like section, which melds into a more…

transgender individuals will not be able to serve in the U.S. military. Now the ban that Trump restored was the ban that Obama ended in 2016. Many people are not agreeing with the decision that he has made, making an uproar arise on the conflict.

I do not agree because they are losing people who will serve, gender should not matter, and he…

My motivation and decision to serve in the United States Army is twofold: 1. Important and influential men in my life had served their country selflessly. 2. I was aimless after High School/College. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn’t want to do nothing. I came from a family which served from The Civil War through Vietnam. On both sides my great-grandfathers served in WWI, my grandfathers served in the U.S. Army and Navy respectively during WWII, and my father served…

In his article, “Serve or Fail,” Dave Eggers, a well-known editor and author, tries to resolve a perplexing social dilemma: Under what circumstances is it acceptable for students to dedicate the entirety of their 4 years of college experience completing and excelling in their school work without a proposed break of some sort to help replenish their minds, bodies, and souls? In addition, he suggests that we should not only minimize the school year by a year, but incorporate community service…

Serve or Pass Initially, I thought I had misheard him. Apparently, the big fat D I received in gym class the year before had consequences. It was the start of my senior year of high school. My high school guidance counselor had informed me that I needed to take two gym classes. I could risk not graduating if I didn’t get satisfactory scores in both classes. Remembering what brought me to such a low grade, I was nauseated when I left his office. “Just hit the ball!” A few people yelled, some…

Should There be a Limit on Terms a President Can Serve? One of the few amendments that our government has determined to be necessary is the 22nd amendment. The 22nd amendment limits the number of terms that a president may serve. This amendment is based on the precedent that George Washington set when he served as our first president, he only served two terms. Every president after him had only served two terms, until Franklin D. Roosevelt, he served three terms and was elected to a fourth term…
