Community Service Journal Sample

Community Service Journal For my community service, I made mayday baskets for the residents at the Waterford apartments in Country Manor with my grandma. So in order to make the mayday baskets, we need to plan what we were going to do beforehand. So a few weeks before mayday me, my mom, and grandma decided what kind of mayday basket we were going to make. Then when we decided on that we went shopping to get the items we needed in order to make the baskets. Then the Sunday before mayday we went to my grandma’s house and made them. We made them by folding paper into a cone shape, then we punched two holes in the cone to make a handle by using ribbon. Then for our final steps we filled them up with candy, and wrote happy mayday on the cone.
During those hours I accomplished so much with the help of my mom and grandma. We prepared, made, and delivered the may day baskets. My contribution to the project was to make the cone shaped baskets, write happy mayday on them and also to fill them up with candy. While I did that my mom and grandma punched the holes and made the ribbon handles. A few days after we had delivered the mayday baskets we received many different compliments. One lady told us that it reminded her of the olden days when she use to make them as a kid. Also many people thanked us, and said that it was a very nice thing to do. Then another lady told us that it brightened her day. After we had received these compliments it made us feel so much better because we had made their days. I am so glad that I got to do this with my grandma because I know that it just makes her so much more happier. Like I stated above when we were done we felt so much better because we knew that we made many people happy. We also felt good because it is so fun to brighten other peoples day. My take away from making the mayday baskets is that just a little something can change the mood of a person. I also took away that when doing a random act of kindness it feels so good after you have done
For example in Top 20 Teens it talks about being above the line, and also about being below the line. This topic relates very well with community service because if you are a person who is above the line, then we will have a good attitude, and also well have a much better time doing the work. While if bottom 80 teens were doing community service they would have a terrible attitude and would make doing the work not fun at all. I also think that levels of listening also goes along with community service. I think that they go hand in hand because I feel like when you are volunteering you should be in the zone. When you are in the zone you aren’t worrying about anything else other than the work that you are doing, and I think that it makes it a 10 times better experience. Another topic that I think goes along with community service is goals:bettering your best. I think that they go together because I think that before you go out and volunteer you should stop and think about what you would like to get out of it. By doing this you can set smart goals which will help you know what you want to get out of it. I also think that the topic what’s in it for me also goes along with community service. I think this because like I stated above you should stop and think about what is in it for you. I think this because maybe you see volunteering as pointless, but then when you think about what
