Community service

Community service is when you go out of your way to do a good deed. It’s when you help those who are in need whether you know them personally or not. It is especially important to teach kids from a young age about how they can do community service as well. Teaching kids from a young age is important because it shows them how to be responsible and it shows them how to treat others who may not have been afforded the same life style that most families receive with dignity and respect as well. When I was in the 7th grade my school organized a trip for us to help a charitable organization. We helped by putting together and delivering packages of food to those less fortunate then our selves’ right before the holiday season. In order to help lesson the burden from those families that may not have been able to enjoy the holiday season to their fullest due to financial constraints. After that trip it felt as though my eyes were opened for the first time because I never got to see first hand how difficult things can be for those who can not afford to buy food on a regular basis. Since then I have been much more open to helping others and treating others with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
