Deb Reflection
How has serving my community helped me become the person I am today? In 2014, I was installed into a social service club called Debs. I feel that likewise I have changed since I pledged over a year ago in many ways. Debs Social Service Club is a club for girls in high schools in Meridian, Mississippi only. As of now, I have one hundred forty-five community service hours. From all these hours, I have learned skills that are necessary for certain jobs. I have worked concession stands, sold clothes, participated in a special needs Halloween carnival, and worked ticket booths. All of these tasks are seen in all types of jobs. Another benefit I have received from being a Deb is the teamwork. Not all Debs are good friends and in real life everyone
is not necessarily friends with his or her coworkers. Working different jobs with different Debs creates bonding with girls that I would not normally talk to. I am naturally a shy person, so these skills I have earned have helped me be more outgoing. This prepares me for the workforce. The last benefit I have gained is the growth of my passion to help others. I have always liked to help people, but I have even more passion for helping others after becoming a Deb. I have learned more about what have that others do not and ways to help fix that. The feeling that I have helped someone in need is addictive. My family and I have put together shoeboxes filled with toys for kids overseas who do not normally receive Christmas presents. Now the other Debs and I are purchasing food for children who live in Meridian and may even go to our schools that do not have enough money for food on the weekends. School cafeterias give these certain students reduced lunches during the week, but he or she may not get meals on the weekends. Many of us take for granted our stocked pantries and refrigerators. These kids cannot say that, but it feels wonderful to try to change his or her situation-even just a little bit. with work skills, communication skills, and has made me more passionate about helping others. I will never regret pledging for Debs;it has increased my maturity in numerous ways. Debs has helped shape me into the person that I am today.
