Community Service

Our society consists of many people that could have used a little bit of help. As teenagers, we have so much to offer to our own communities, however, most of us rather stay home and do nothing. Becoming involved in the community can be very easy and even fun, and I'm going to show you how simple it is. 

First of all, you should be active, and offer people from your community help. You can start by helping your own neighbors from the youngest to the oldest. For example, you can help kids with their homework and play with them, or get to know your older neighbors better by listening to their fascinating stories. If you feel like you're up for a challenge, go farther, and offer your help to other houses in your neighborhood. 

In addition, introduce your school to community service activities. Find information on-line, through newspapers or just by asking people you know, about community service activities which are appropriate  for your school. Let the principle(sp.-principal) know about these activities, and he might agree to take part in them with the whole school. I believe, that it's a wonderful way to encourage students to become more active in the community.

To conclude, I would say that it's possible to make a change in your community. You can do so much for the people you are surrounded by and make them happier. As I see it, there are no excuses, no matter how old you are or where you live you can always do something to make others feel better- and it starts with you.  

Excellent work! Well done!
