The Importance Of Giving Back To My Community

At church, in addition to my participation in the worship services, I volunteered at our church’s soup kitchen, medical camps and elementary school for underprivileged children. These experiences opened my eyes to the deprivation of love and care in the world and a dire need of God’s grace for people at large so they could receive forgiveness, healing and restoration in their lives.

There was one man I talked to in particular that sticks out in my mind. And we didn’t even deliver to him. When we first got to IU Medical Center, we had to wait about 30 minutes for the food to be brought to us. While we waited, a man about 75 years old started talking to us. He told us about how his wife had died eleven years ago and after she died, he started volunteering at Meals on Wheels every day for the past ten years. He explained that his wife had a disease that got so severe that she was put in an assisted living home. The particular assisted living home she was in had meals for her, but were expensive. So her husband found Meals on Wheels. The couple got themselves each two meals a day and had lunch and dinner together every day. After the man’s wife died, he started delivering the meals to people who are not healthy and able to get out and go shopping for meals. This man was such a sweet man. This man is doing something that Jesus would have done. Even at his old age, he still takes time every day to help somebody else out besides himself, someone less fortunate and unable. This man sacrifices at least three hours a day delivering meals to people that he would not have known otherwise. This man made an impact on my life. He showed me that even when we think we are

Veterans Day mean a lot to me because if it wasn’t for those who fought for us, then we wouldn’t have our freedom. I honor the brave soldiers who fought for our rights, and those

It is important to celebrate Veterans Day because they served our country to keep us safe. We should thank them, and honor them for all

Veterans are people that have battled in a war for their nation. Some tragically, aren't even alive any longer. In the the wars, veterans have stuck together as a group against the people who battled our nation. We are a united countery, and veterans have made it conceivable by securing us. Veterans Day is a day to respect every one of those people who have died for our nation. Veterans have given their time, mettle, boldness, lives, and quality for us and this nation. If not for the veterans, we likely wouldn't be here todayt. That is the way huge of an effect veterans have on this awesome nation. Therefore,The day is insufficient to demonstrate the gratefulness which is because of the incalculable number of brave men and ladies. As a human

vetrans day is about commemorating vetrans. when our school district holds an assembly in their honor, it lets them know that they are remebered and still thanked for their services. having all these students come together shows they are respected. when we listen to them speak we validate their experiences in war, and how they gave time of their lives.

I believe that we the Americans should not just thank the Veterans on a certain date but we should thank them everyday. People may not realize the struggle that the Veterans went thru to stand for the our country's. Everyday that passes by my family and I pray for the soldiers and the ones that serves our country. Without them we would not have the freedom we have today. I thank the people

Veteran's Day is a special time. I have family or had family in the service. My Grandpa Harry Iunghuhn was in the Navy. My Grandpa Sir Schweier served in WW1. Now my cousin Emily Fay. She is in the Navy. Veteran's Day to means to honer men and women who have served for our country.

Veterans day means a lot to me but mostly it means family. Many of my family members were veterans my father many uncles even a great grandmother. As I said many of my family were veterans and if it was not for family I would not be here. But if was not for veterans I would not be here either so if it was not for them the idea of being here would sound insane. I love my family and to think a large group of my family fought so I could be here makes me love them even more. Family is great and it is great to be able to experience it but some people’s family members died in the armed forces but at least they died serving the country. My family is amazing and they have done so much for me and it is a amazing thought to think many of them even were

Veterans are the individuals that by practicing their beliefs in freedom, have unintentionally rewritten history. They exist as our dads, moms, uncles, brothers, sisters, and grandfathers. Americans honor these veterans that are willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice in order to honor and protect their country. Yet, society constantly overlook their desire and passion for this country. Veterans Day is the day that society set aside every year to honor those who have served. Veterans submit themselves to a long journey filled with life changing events in order to defend their countries’ values and deserve further appreciation.

American Veterans risk their lives for us, everyday hoping they won’t be killed or injured while protecting us from our various enemies, so that we can live our lives with safety and security. I am very thankful for

Veteran’s Day is about celebrating the sacrifices and achievements men and women made for our country. The Veterans in the war made extremely difficult sacrifices, but they did it for us. Our Veterans put themselves in harm’s way so their families and their home country

It gave me the chance to vanquish my fears while also realizing that it is God’s plan for me to help out my community. However, I am not surprised that there are still unanswered questions in my head such as: Why is there such a big hunger problem? Why is this problem not spoken about more often? Is there any other way I can help stop this problem? This service has made me more knowledgeable and aware of my community. In addition, this service project has made me take matters into my own hands. Currently, every time my family goes grocery shopping I make sure they get at least five canned goods for donating. As more of my friends volunteer and more donations come in I think we can end this fight for hunger in southern Louisiana. In addition, I believe that we should all take a step back and be thankful for all that we have because some people don’t have such luxuries. God is omnipresent, He would not want to see His children starving. Finally, I see it as a mission that we volunteers get more people involved to volunteer for the greater

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

In conclusion, giving back to my community is very important to me. The main reasons why giving back is important to me is because my community has done so much for me, I take pride in where I am from, and because I want everyone to be amazed about my
