Community Service

I did community service in church about a year. Community service was about taking care of disabled people. For first 8 months, I was assigned to take care of James. He was blind and he also suffered from cerebral palsy, a disorder that prevent  a person’s brain from developing. I really did nothing for first 6 month because James always slept, so I also slept in a sofa while other volunteers had to take people to classes and listen to boring lectures. However, I sometimes had to change his diapers. It would not be hard to change child’s diapers, but James was 6 years older than me, so it was quite a work. For remaining 4 months, I had to take care of another person, I forgot his name. I really do not want to say this, but he had terrible personalty . He wouldn’t grab a spoon or fork unless some woman is near him and he wouldn’t listen a single word from me only because i am male, but only listened to me when he needed help in going to restroom and do whatever he needs to do. He was the reason for me to quit doing volunteer jobs. Before doing community service, I always considered myself as good person, but this experience taught me that being a good person is hard to do.
