Community Service

I believe that community service is a great way to give back to the people in our community who need help more then us. It’s the best way to help because it is something that has to do with the heart and doesn’t have anything to do with the money or a paycheck. I have done community service at a food bank where I helped collect cans of food and other non-perishables that people who were less fortunate could use to fill their stomachs on those long and cold winter nights. I have also done political community service for Anthony Weiner; this past year when he was running for office. Even though the outcome was him winning, followed by a huge public scandal the experience was a great one. I got to mail out campaign flyers, and make calls to get votes, and I even got to meet Anthony Weiner when he came to his head office. I learned how hard it is to get people to listen with the phone calls because many people hung up or didn’t care enough to listen; but I tried and stayed persistent with the phone calls and helped him get some votes that he didn’t have. I hope that where ever we go for community service, it is fun and beneficial for the community.
