    I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.

I’ll admit that at the start of my Senior year, I only wanted to get service hours because it would help me receive the twenty-hour minimum required to stay in the Beta Club. But after spending time with people in my community and giving back, I learned that helping others is a lot of fun and rewarding at the same time. By helping in my community, I got to know people, learned skills in cleaning and building, and ultimately made my hometown a better place.

  • Community Outreach: Impact and Inspiration in Appalachia

    757 Words  | 2 Pages

    The gateway to my participation in community action was my work at Mountain TOP: Tennessee Outreach Project after I finished 9th grade. I went with my church to the Cumberland Plateau to provide assistance to impoverished families and people living in rural Appalachia. We did a lot of odd jobs for a lot of lonely people. My group and I cleared hornets’ nests, built sheds, landscaped, and did a myriad of other things. Mostly, we showed the impoverished locals that people still cared and that they were not abandoned. The tasks were never very glorious or overtly life-changing, but it made people happy. After seeing the glee in the eyes of the little boy when we finally removed his family’s hornets’ nest, I knew that I could never stop trying to bring joy to others. I would never have a satisfying life unless I used all of my talents and skills to make others happy.

    These experiences have afforded me opportunities to demonstrate my gifts and talents that had previously gone undiscovered. Through different community service opportunities, I either learned something new about myself or I was reassured something. These qualities include that I am creative, reliable, open-minded, passionate, and an effective team player. Community service changed my life by developing my character through enhancing my transferable skills, which allowed me to see the world differently. Everyone, from all walks of life, needs to in some way, shape, or form give back to the community because it will not only benefit the less fortunate but it will benefit the volunteers as well.
