Community Service

Our group decided to join the Breast Cancer Walk in Prospect Park as our community service.  We went to Prospect Park to walk for breast cancer, not only our group, but also hundreds of people walked for fundraising for breast cancer at that day. It was a big event.

When I first heard that I would be engaging in a community service project with a group, I thought it might be a good opportunity to help people in need, I was glad to help others. I thought we should do as much as we could. Finally our group decided to walk for breast cancer. It took us about three hours walking for four miles. When I first heard that we needed to walk for four miles, I didn’t think I could finish it. At the beginning, I start to feel tired. In order to help others, we should persevere unremittingly, so we never gave up, and kept walking until we finished. I was exhausted, but when I finished it, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I found all people might have unlimited potential. If we wanted to do something, then took the action and redouble our efforts, no matter how tough it would be, we would overcome all the difficulties and accomplish it finally.

Since we did the community service with a large group, there were many other groups did the community service with us as well, the leadership became important at that situation. I thought we always needed a leadership to organize us, so we could be more effective and efficient.

I thought the community service experience changed me a lot. It leads me to greater dedication. Even if it would spend my time and energy for helping others, after that, I could feel content in my life. I thought I should be generous in giving help. And my attitude of life became more optimistic. The community service experience built up my willpower as well.

I was satisfied with my experience overall, even though it was an exhausted task, after finishing it, I got the sense of accomplishment, and through our efforts, we helped the community. Our efforts were not in vain. I would continue doing some community service, because I thought I could be happy and content while helping others. The world would be full of love if all of us could help each other.
