The Christian Community

I used to be a member of the National Honor Society in J.W. Sexton High School. We met twice a month to discuss about volunteering opportunities such as volunteering in the 40/8 veterans organization, which I helped out from time to time. 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…

Service learning is important for many reasons. It teaches you to put others first. When doing service learning you are often put in someone else’s shoes. Whether you are in the shoes of a gardener, a teacher or a clerk, you learn to appreciate the hard work they do on a daily basis. I'm fortunate enough to have everything I need at my fingertips, but that’s not the case for everyone. While helping others, you realize what everyday things you take for granted. This quarter I helped my french…

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 society that Lancy was describing is an African polygynous tribe where communal care is common. The care of the children is spread out amongst the community and not left all to the mother. The passing…

Introduction I’ll never forgot the plaque hanging in my childhood home with a famous Muhammad Ali quote that states, “service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” My parents, Michael and Karen Clavin, specifically placed this sign on the wall of our entrance hall so that it was visible soon as soon as we entered our home. 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…

During my first semester of Introduction to Sociology 1000, we were assigned to do community service for Otterbein University. Otterbein focuses on giving back and having students give back to the community as well. For the past ten weeks, I did my community service at the Promise House, it is located on the first-floor common apartments next to Devore Hall. While walking into the Promise House there is a room of tables for people to sit at, and then there is another room behind it which is the…

I decided to do community service that is more diverse than what I did last year. Last year, I did all of my work at the Newport Beach Public Library. This year, I did three events at Pegasus and one event for the Boy Scouts. My events with Pegasus added up to nine hours, and one hour for the Boy Scouts’ yard sale. I had a lot more fun with community service this year, and I feel that I helped more people, rather than just shelving books. I first did community service at Bookmark Pegasus. I was…

Many people assume that a community is just the people who live in a certain area. In reality, a community is much more than just a population of people. It is a group of individuals who work towards a common goal. A community positively influences individuals by trying to solve an obstruction that the individuals must face together. The following sources will be used to explain how a community influences an individual : Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, King’s My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr., CBS…

For me, service means helping someone in need when they do not have a lot of options. But service also mean to give back to the community . As an international student coming from France, I am here in New York and even if it is not my community, I Iive here now and I want to help my new city. So being part of the CUNY Service Corps could really help me embrace my New York life but also help me gain professional experience. I want to be in Service Corps because I really enjoy helping people. Plus…
