Our group went to the breast cancer walk at Prospect Park for our community service project. This inspiring event is to celebrate survivorship, to honor breast cancer survivors, and to raise money for American cancer society.
When I first hearing that I would be engaging in a community service project, I thought it would be wasting my time and energy. I thought we should focus more on study and assignments. I change my mind after I participate in the breast cancer walk. The service site was crowd. It was full with people from different culture and age. I was wondering why there were that many people were participating. What have motivated them? There was not only the breast cancer survivors were participating, but also the people not related to them. They make a stride for these survivors. I felt this world is full of love. There were a lot of zealots in our community. Even the little kids, they were participating.
I felt satisfied to give my time and energy to others. Although the help I could provide are little, it was significative to me. This community service project gave me a chance to fulfill my responsible and obligation to our community. The most trying experience that occurred was the walk is too long. The total distance was 4 miles. We had been thinking of give up. We thought of just took a photo and leave. When we looked at the people around us, we felt shame if we leave. Finally we kept on until the end. I had learned about persist in something and contribute to our community can be meaningful.
Overall, I felt helping others are pleasure and meaningful. I hope I could stay involve in the community during my college and adult years.
community service is meaningful..
