The way our community service helped our community was the walk helped not only to increase the awareness of the dangers and harms of lupus, but it also encouraged people to exercise.
My initial reactions to hearing that i would be engaging in an activity that would help our community was excitement. I was excited to be part of something bigger than myself and that I would have the opportunity to help out my community by giving something back.
Again spending time and energy felt good. It was nice to be doing something that not only I enjoyed, but also something i knew would better out community.
I learned that there are many people that would give a lot of their time and energy to do something they believe is right.
Well, the community service didn’t really change my way of thinking significantly, however it did help increase my aware of the importance of finding cure for lupus since it affects many lives.
The most important thing I learned throughout this community service was what lupus is, which is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue.
Yes, I do see myself involved in the community because if i do so not only will it benefit the community, but it will also benefit me when i decide to look for a job i will be able to say that i gave back to the community.
On Oct. 22, my group went on a walk help by the The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR), which is a national voluntary health organization based in New York City.
We did the same one~~
Seems like you learned a lot. I have heard of lupus but never really knew what that was until now. Definitely don’t stop here in community service. That way, you’ll always keep that enjoyment up in life!
