Community Service Write-Up
The community service I chose was, being an alternate for the Flex language arts interviews, student Flex interviews, Career Fair, hoop house, power point for the rotary, hung flyers, labeled letters, helped move bleachers from Homer Middle School to Homer High School, cleaned up garbage around my neighborhood and recycled.
Was boring at first, but when I started doing more it made me feel good about myself. When I started, I thought it was just a waste of time and wished that community service wasn’t a part of school that we needed to graduate. While doing community service for people outside of school, like the Career Fair, it was a blast, because I got to meet a lot of people and I also felt really appreciated for being there. I was getting thanked by other people and that made me feel really good. I may consider, actually doing more community service, because it helps build skills that some of us don’t have and it just makes you feel good.
After done with school, most people don’t want to do any community service because they don’t think it’s all that important. It is though, and I have a few reasons why. One reason is because helping out the community makes other people feel good and also yourself. Another reason, is because people in places like Haiti, are in need of help, and being a member of a nonprofit organization would make you feel better about who you are and also the people who are in need of help. The people, who are in need, will think of you as someone else, a hero.
The Rotary is a NGO. (Non Governmental Organization).
“The Rotary’s purpose is to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.” While I was there, I joined their meeting and I learned about what they did and how helpful they really are. They help out people in need, like when Haiti had the big earthquake the Rotary Organization was a part of that and they helped provide tents and food for the people that were in need of them. They also make money by donating their own money into the Happy Can, which is a can they have a choice to donate. One dollar for each happy thought, which they share out loud. They sometimes organize fairs to raise money so they can donate to places that are in need of reconstruction or for people who need food, clothes or a place to stay. In my opinion the Rotary is a great organization to have and is very helpful to the world.
