Thoughts on Community Service?

Tweet

Community Service is a required in an elective I am taking as part of my last year in high school, and so far, my thoughts on it have been going well, except this one girl in my class. Maybe it's just me, but she is always questioning what I think about doing my community service. I originally thought that it was enough to donate an adequate amount of money, but she expects me to do more than that. There's an organization in our school that helps us take care of families that are not so fortunate around the neighborhood. These families sign up for things and get these items near the holidays, and it just happens to be that the younger ones wanted an apple itouch. Is it just me? I kind of thought that helping the less fortunate meant helping out the ones who don't have anything, and not helping the families that "need" an itouch. I don't have one either, but I suppose they need it a lot more than I do. I've been cleaning up the neighborhood, which felt truly refreshing today because of the smell of Spring rolling around the crisp winter air.
