Why Community Service Is Important
Do you feel community service is important to a community? Why or why not? Explain your answer in two or three paragraphs.
Community Service is important for many reasons. Taking part and volunteering teaches compassion and understanding.

You can volunteer for something you really believe and have an interest in, and can volunteer as much or as little as you 'd like or have time for.
Since I was young I have always volunteered for my Catholic Youth Group. At first I didn 't know many people there and wasn 't very enthusiastic. Later, as I got to know the other kids and starting pushing myself to join in the activities, I learned to enjoy and relish my time there. Some activities we did was decorating the nursing home for Christmas, singing carols, writing letters to the residents, and just sitting there visiting and listening to what they had to share. I have realized how important the elderly are to our society and I truly appreciate the advice they gave me. It was a very rewarding experience and I got to do many things I wouldn 't have had an opportunity to do otherwise.
As I move through life I think I will always be involved in community service. Not just because I think it is important but because it is something I enjoy and look forward to. I love bringing joy and through community service I feel I can accomplish that.

I was afraid that attending a university would be out of my financial reach. I was not even sure where
