Let’s Talk About Community Service! By: Brittany Richardson
Why Community Service Is Important To Me: • Community service is a good way for me to show my compassion for people that I do not have contact with on a daily basis. • Community service helps me develop better social skills. • Community service allows me to give of myself freely to people that are less fortunate.
Let’s Support The American Red Cross! • This is the first organization I supported with Freshman Year Experience. We washed cars and took up donations to help support.
My First Two Community Service ProjectsFor The Fall • I washed cars and made signs for the first two car washes at Waffle House. • I mostly held signs at these car washes, but Bianca, Aaron, and I stood in the median and hollered car wash and some people stopped to give us donations. • We were moving around the entire time, because we started on the corner by the bank and ended up at the median. • I enjoyed it though, because I was able to spend time with other FYE students and we all were together as a family working hard to support The American Cancer Society.
My Last Community Service Project For The Fall • I washed cars at Sonny’s to get my last two or three community service hours. • I mainly rinsed cars and stood out to the road with a car wash sign. • I enjoyed being at Sonny’s because I was able to spend time with FYE students and we were making a lot of donations for a good cause.
My First Two Community ServiceProjects For The Spring • My first seven community service hours came from washing cars at Sonny’s in Valdosta. • At the first car wash, I went to the sidewalk on the side of Sonny’s and I held a car wash sign and screamed car wash. • At the second car wash, I rinsed cars and helped wash cars. Then, I went out beside the road and held up a car wash sign.
My Last Community Service Project Was Relay For Life. • I completed the last three hours of my community service. • I participated in a scavenger hunt for Relay For Life. • My eight friends and I had to find nine random things on campus in forty five minutes. • It was a hard task because we had to go to the University Center and Centennial and could not have any form of transportation take us there. • We found all the things on the list and made it back before our time was up. • We won a cup and a bracelet for doing this event.
Here Is A Picture Of The Shirt I Got For Participating and The Cup I Won From The Scavenger Hunt.
How I Really Feel About Community Service. • I think community service is a great deed. It is the best chance that I will ever have to help out in the community. I can help plan and participate in events that can change someone’s life. It feels good to know that someone’s life can be saved, or someone can have a chance at a better life from my ten hours of community service. I feel like I have accomplished something and that in the end someone will really appreciate all my hardwork and dedication.
Do I Plan On Doing Community Service In The Future? • Yes, I plan on doing community service in the future. I am vice president of my youth mission group and we help feed the elderly twice a year, but in the coming months we are going to find other community service projects that we can participate.
