Growing up and learning new thing every step I took was important to me. Learning from my mistakes and taking in new things everyday. Everything felt so different after I have finished junior high school because high school was a new challenge to me. During my years of high school, I felt that it is I was learning to be more responsible. I remember the time when I was learning about community service and it was the first time during freshman year of high school. I have completed my first community service at a daycare. Even though it was just spending time with little kids, I thought that by helping out and spending time with the little kids was my first experience by helping the community. I have learned that the purpose behind most community service is to give back to the community just by giving some of our own times and help out the ones in need of help.

After my first community service, I was required to continue each semester by completing some sort of community service. My very next community service was helping out at the public library. It felt very different than before where I went to a daycare and spending time with little kids. At the library it was like a whole new experience where I did shelving and just help organizing the shelves when there are books gets out of place.  I went to volunteer at the library almost at least once a week, unless I was not able to go in. Aside from volunteering at the library, I helped out around in my high school helping teachers and have done some charity walks like the AIDs Walk, the Avon for Breast Cancer Walk and Light the Night Walk. 

Through my experiences of volunteering, I would like to continue to volunteering and giving back to the community because just giving some of my time can help many others. I am sure that there are more to just giving back to the community, but to also volunteering can bring people together. Although I would want to continue volunteering, I feel that I also want to get started on gaining experiences from getting an internship or a job.
