The Importance Of Giving Back To A Community

As surprising as it may sound, I have been doing community service since the sixth grade and it is a new experience each time. It all began with a community clean up known as 'Keep McAllen Beautiful' as we got there everyone seemed excited to be there. It was beautiful to see such unity inside of my community, and I decided from then on that I would like continue helping out where it is needed. As I joined the National Honor Society my chances of providing my services increased, and I decided that I would assume a position of leadership when needed. I became the society's president, which allowed me to develop my time management skills, creativity, and efficiency. I organized an fundraiser for the hurricane Harvey disaster victims where all

I offer my services to the community in a way that many people wouldn’t expect. Due to financial issues I wasn’t able to volunteer the way that I wanted to but that didn’t change anything. In my area and amongst peers I have become someone they can come to in times of needs, whether it’s for a place to sleep, a hot meal, or an outlet for their emotional and mental distress. I have done extensive research on how to handle certain mental illnesses and emotional outburst so I can be prepared to give everyone the care they need. I am also very active in educating other members of my family and community about mental illness, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse in the black community. I found that there are many ways to give back to the community.

Over the past year, I have served my school and community in many different ways. Whether it be through volunteering or participating in organizations that work to make changes in the lives of others. I try to stay involved in my environment. Currently, I am a student at Rockford Lutheran High School. With the multitude of clubs, my school offers, I am able to interact with other club members to promote student participation. Every year we participate in drives and fundraisers. In Key Club, each year we put together solider boxes. We collect a variety of small items and send hand packaged boxes to our fighting soldiers, as a gift for christmas. Other drives that I partake in are the canned food drives for the local food pantries, and the clothing drives to give winter clothing to those less fortunate. This helps to provide this vulnerable population with warmth during the cold winter months.

I feel that after all of the sacrifices that have been made by the community for my benefit, I have an obligation to give back and re-pay what has been given and more, I have an immense amount of appreciation and gratitude toward my community and all they have done for my peers and I. Community service also plays a big role in my involvement in the youth group at First Baptist Church of Bryson City. each year, a group of teenagers, including myself, participate in multiple community service projects -- whether they are as close to home as the Hospital Hill Road clean-up, or a far away as mission work in Port-au-Prince, haiti. I have been involved in many community service projects, because giving back to my community is something that simply gets done without

I am committed to many different community events including Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald house, and M-Fuge. Within each of these events, I contribute my time, talent, and treasure to address others issue of inequality. Special Olympics is a community service group that helps disabled and diseased men and women bowl. This community service event means a lot to me because I have built relationships with the people. Another thing that I like it that there are Teams, but they are all very kind, nice, and loving to each other. Everyone's there to help one another and support each other. One example of this is when anyone gets a strike or spare, everyone I cheering for them giving them high fives and hugs! Another community service I do is volunteering at the The Ronald McDonald house. At the Ronald McDonald house, we make all the families staying there dinner and desert. This community service means a lot to mean because I feels good to feed those in need of food, who are poor because their trying to provide for their children. The last type of community service I do is attending a camp called M-Fuge. My youth group has gone to Belmont University (Tennessee) and North Greenville University (South Carolina) both for the M-Fuge Camp. Within this camp, we go to local underprivileged and poor schools throughout the city, helping them with homework

The great Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” I deem this to be a vital question that everyone should ask themselves. I wholeheartedly agree that serving others impacts your community in a positive light. Therefore, I've made it my duty to volunteer with students throughout my community. This is because I’m very proactive about seeking change in the area I grew up in.

Community service is very near and dear to me. I have been the recipient on many occasions and it has helped me understand the importance of giving back to your community. When in the hospital I have appreciated all the visits from the Michigan University athletes, the book mobile, Delta pilots, along with the numerous other organizations that have programs to help easy hospital stays for kids. Since, I do not usually get many visitors while I am in the hospital, since I am usually hours from home, these have been very special to me.

My participation in Kirkwood Youth Service ensures I'm all-into community service and lend a hand where needed. Whether it be working at a local animal shelter, helping at a church pumpkin patch, or contributing to World Food Day collections, I commit myself fully to helping others and making the community better.

I have always taken great pride in my ability to bring myself out of poverty and to become a well-rounded person. I have suffered through many obstacles along the way, and with great determination, I have been able to overcome them. I know that I have been fortunate and I never take that for granted. Friends and family are a great support system and I am blessed to have the best of both. I work very hard to instill strong beliefs into my children and their friends. It is very important to me that I give back to the community. Understanding social culture and economic provides and even greater sense of wanting to help those that need it. I volunteer through my work with Habitat for Humanity and the Houston Food Bank. My daughter also volunteers

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

I am immersed in many community services with my school. Every Martin Luther King Jr. Day, my school comes together to assist those in need. It is a day devoted to helping others by constructing boxes of necessary materials to send to sick nuns at Camilla Hall. One evening during the year the school community comes together for a night dedicated to community service. Each grade occupies themselves in diverse ways to help those who are in need. Some classes help by making tuna fish casseroles, and others cut jeans to make shoes for the needy in Africa. There is nothing I love more than helping those in need with my school

There are some things we need to discuss about our community. There are many problems and littering around the world. Services are all around even if you don't need to have the hours for community service. There are tons of people who are willing to work for their community to make it a better living place for them and the animals around it. Giving back is a great way to fulfill your community service requirement for school or a club, build your resume, and make a difference in your community. However, sometimes, it's difficult to find an exciting volunteer opportunity.

I believe that giving back to the community is important because they have helped us out and I believe that we should do the same in return. We’ve grown up in small place from small island, small town, and a small school.Without the support from others that we have now we wouldn't have the great opportunities that we have today. The people who have been there for me and that have helped support me have been my father and my friends. The communities that i wouldn't want to get back to would have to be Kailua Kona, Waimea, and Honokaa. This is because these are the places that I have grown up in and and without them I wouldn't be the person that I am today.

I believe that giving back to the community is one of the most important things a person must do. After I graduate with my degree in aerospace engineer, I plan to go back and help not only my community; I will help this whole nation to build next generation advanced airplanes. You see, nowadays aerospace industry are so well and lots of things are improving but still there is been some crashes and people are dying. In order to fix these kinds of problem, I would join NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Lots of improvement in the airplane comes from NASA. This way I would get the chance to serve my community and county. These are the very same people I grew up with. Who took care of me while my parents were at work by babysitting

My father is a pastor, my whole life has been surrounded by people caring. Whether it was us caring for others or others caring for us, it is what my life has always been. I have also seen what happens when we don’t care enough. I will be talking about why caring is essential to a community, how I got my car thanks to people who care and how I try to care for others.
