Community Service

I helped out most of my hours of community service for the Laguna Creek Junior Cardinals (LCJC) football team .What happened was in my first 4 hours of community service I helped divide recycle from trash and empty out the trash at one of my brothers football game. My supervisor for those hours for LCJC was Lora the head coach for the cheerleaders. A week later for 4 hours I clean-up and break down the facility around the field. Later next week I did the same thing for another 6 hours, setting up and putting away the facility and cleaning up afterwards. After working 14 hours for the football team I thought of what else could I do for the rest of my service hours. This is what happened, my mom suggest that I should do more service at our church and I agreed to do it. My supervisor for my service was the church pastor Charles. What happened was for 2 hours I just did the normal stuff like setting up and cleaning afterwards, like I did at my brothers football games. It was the same thing for the next few weeks, cleaning up, setting up, breaking down and also greeting people in the morning before church started. All the stuff I’ve been doing was not must but I did learn about the impotents of cleaning up the community and to serve and welcome others. This is about it for my community service for this year I lust hope that next year, I can do more for my community and I’m not just saying that, I really want to do better next year for my community

    I wasn't too disappointed when I was served 15 hours of community service. I understood at this point that what I had done wasn't okay and I deserved community service. I chose to make my time up at the boys and girls club. I did this because I know the time I spent there would be appreciated by the staff and children. After making my time up I still had a feeling of guilt because I know I can never take back what I did, but I had a sense of relief and felt like a better person at the end of the…

    During the last 12 months of my life, I have volunteered a substantial amount of my time in my youth group: Amplified Youth. I currently hold a position on the leadership team and I also lead the media team. 4 years ago, our youth worship team did not have a sound engineer or media team. I took on the task and I learned how to operate the presentation software as well as run the sound board. Since then, I have passed on the knowledge I gained to others and have given them an opportunity to serve and learn more about sound and media. I also currently make promotional videos and other graphics for our services with industry grade software as needed. This experience challenged me because I was held responsible for showing up to practices on a…

    Being a nominee, I realize that the National Honor Society is an honor to be in itself. Since The National Honor Society is dedicated to helping the needy, children, the elderly and non-profit organizations. I feel that this is the right society for me because since I was a child, I have been noted for my exceptional empathy. My parents have always instilled in me a sense of responsibility and care for others. I feel obligated to utilize my gifts in an organization as prestigious as the National Honor Society. Over the past years as a scholar, I believe that I have demonstrated all four principles: scholarship, leadership, character, and service.…

    Should the United States require all adults to perform one year of community service by the age of 30? I personally think this is a topic that is not at all, relevant. I believe if someone wants to lend a helping hand, then they should lend a helping hand. If you don't prefer to do this kind of community service, the government shouldn't force you to do so. There would be a lot of change in how community service is done today if the government required at least one year to be served by the age of 30.…

    Incarceration

    In today’s society, mischievous actions are often looked down upon and on occasions are subject to confinement to protect others from detriment. Individuals that commit offenses that are punishable my law may be sentenced to a place confinement such as jails, prisons, detention facilities, etc. People who are assigned to serve sentences in these facilities are seen as a danger to others and are best in captivity until these behaviors become either close or completely obsolete. The logic behind this is that a person guilty of a crime will learn over a certain time and mentally break oneself down. Another reason may be that ones offense is so sever that they will have to spend the rest of ones life in incarceration or pay with death. Overall incarceration is meant to be a punishment in order to prevent future activity that breaks what is considered as peace in society.…

    Recently I have had the opportunity to volunteer with an organization called, “Upper Level Basketball”. It is a program through First Baptist Church in Hot Springs Arkansas that offers a basketball league to boys and girls with various developmental disabilities and special needs. Prior to volunteering I had no idea what this opportunity would entail, and quite frankly I felt underqualified for the job at hand. At that time I was struggling emotionally and wondering of my purpose in life, so when this opportunity to volunteer presented itself I thought it would be a good way to shift my focus from myself onto others. The first night of volunteering I was nervous because I had virtually no experience communicating with children who have special needs, as well as very little basketball experience. Upon arriving I was told…

    “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” This quote by Oliver Wendall Holmes can be applied to numerous situations in our lives. Throughout my whole life, I rarely ever did community service. Though I went to nursing homes and sang carols during Christmas, I really never considered it to be true volunteer work. I was usually too busy to have any spare time to volunteer and when I did have spare time, volunteer work was never the first thing on my mind. Volunteering last Wednesday, however, did stretch my mind. Because this was my first instance of true volunteer work, everything about it was a new experience. I chose to volunteer to work the table at the blood drive at the Recreational Center because I’ve donated blood before and feel that it is very helpful and necessary to the process of saving lives. Working “behind the scenes” of the blood drive was different though. By sitting there and helping out the donors and handing out snacks afterwards, I got to see the donor community in a different way. Not only that, but a lot of times, I found it to be my responsibility to assure donors that the process was quite easy and painless. Many people came in looking unsure about whether or not they would really donate and these were the people I spent the most time talking to. My “old dimensions” were the thoughts that blood drives just easily happened; people showed up, they donated and that was all that was to it. Volunteering at the blood drive helped me better understand that things like this wouldn’t be possible if there weren’t people to volunteer at them and help everything run smoothly. By my mind being stretched by this experience, I’ve learned that even only helping out for a few hours can go a long way. I feel so much differently about volunteer work now; instead of it being a burden that I’ve been “sentenced to”, it is actually an easy way to give back to the community. On the day of the blood drive, I collected…

    A very similar thing occurred within my high school in which myself and 2 other girls lead a bible study after lunch. This was another situation in which my service and efforts were ignored while the other girls received praises and awards for their work. After reading Fosters section on self-righteous service versus true service I have a new outlook on those situations, and in now I realize that I serve because that's what God calls me to do, not because people are going to look at me in a certain way. Because if praises and awards are what I'm looking for I will always be disappointed.…

    Living in one of the most dangerous neighborhood in the city of Milwaukee, I believe that community service is a must. Community service is a huge component of my life that gives me an opportunity to make my society a better place, the small things count. Today, 10/28/2017, I lost a classmate, Jakeem Sims, due to violence and gang activity within the City of Milwaukee. He was one of the smartest, funniest, and down to earth kid I knew. I knew that he wanted to at least graduate college in order to have a life that he always dreamed of having. As a result, my goal is to be able to provide a safe community, in which we work together to help build and restore not only the Sherman Park neighborhood, but the whole community in which we reside in.…

    Mandatory Volunteering

    Does mandatory volunteering differ from “slavery”? According to this project, a student has to spend his or her particular time to service for community for free in order to graduate from the university. It is fact that in some countries (United States of America, Canada) mandatory volunteering is still used, and in their experience, it works effectively. They say that mandatory volunteering not only develops some skills, but also teaches the future life to the student and it is a kind of preparation for them. In my opinion, they can find more useful and interesting thing than mandatory volunteering in order to graduate from the university, and it should not be required.…
