Hello All,

If you did a community service event with your friends or family, tell us how it went. If you have some pics, put those up on the blog as well!!! Can’t wait to see what community service projects you all did.

Below are some questions to answer about the c.s. event you have participated in. I posted the answers to an event I did as an example. I have some pics on FB from the event also. Please no less than three sentences for each.

Name of Community Service Organization Activity: Making Strides for Breast Cancer: Central Park

Date: Octover 16, 2011

1) How did your community service work help the community?
Every year, millions of people join the walk to help fight one of the leading causes of death among women. This walk is to help raise awareness and to show support to those who have fought breast cancer. This event has helped not only the community, but also has helped to save many lives.

2) How did it make you feel to give up your time and energy to others?

I felt that I was making a postive impact towards those who may have been affected by breast cancer. Spending my time raising awareness as well as encouraging others along the “Making Strides” route was uplifting. You get this warm feeling that you share with strangers that makes it all worth it.

3) How has your community service experience change your thinking, attitudes, and actions towards others, yourself, the community, and community servuce work as a whole?
Since this was my second year participating in Making Strides, I have looked amongst the participants in the walk, and realized that there are so many people that may or may not have been affected by breast cancer, but that everyone’s initiative is to make it become a thing of the past. Seeing the survivors wearing their banners of honor, which says “Survivor”, made me feel that anything is possible to overcome, no matter how big or small the challenge. I see so many people of different ages, gender, ethnicity, sexual orentiation, generation, and notice that we are all brought together to fight for the same cause.
