I think that doing Community Service is a great idea! Besides giving back to our community, I think Community Service will do other terrific things! I believe that community service will help our class bond even more! I mean, this is a group activity and it will help us to get to know each other better. It also makes a difference. Even if it's just a small food drive or something, it makes a difference somewhere, to someone. Community Service also makes us realize how lucky we are. I don't think a lot of us realize this, but we are really lucky to have education, a home to live in, and a meal everyday! Thus, less food and other items won't be wasted as much. And another benefit of community service is that it builds character; you learn life skills and teaches good traits to have. For example, community service teaches you to be empathetic, unselfish, and to feel good about yourself. So yes, I do think that having our media class do a community service deed is a great idea!
Some ideas for our class to do community service is to do a beach clean-up! I mean, we are so lucky to live in Hawaii where we are able to go to the beach, swim freely, and play in the sand! But we want to make sure that this paradise can stay a paradise. Meaning, we should pick up any litter or trash at the beach! Not only is trash not a good sight for the beach, but trash also ends up in the water, where animals think it's food and might die from eating it! An example would be a turtle eating those soda can plastics and getting it stuck in their throat, thus, suffocating. Another idea for a community service project is to help the less fortunate. When I say help the less fortunate, I mean help those in need of support, those who are not as lucky as us. To help the less fortunate, we could have a food drive, or even a "soup kitchen" where we could prepare and serve meals. It would also be pretty cool if we did something for the elderly, our troops, and our veterans. I mean, it's good to help the elderly and we should give back to our troops and veterans! Maybe to help the elderly we could go to like a nursing home and help out there, or just talk to the people there! Maybe for our troops and veterans, we could make/write letters or send care packages or something.
I think our class should do community service maybe once a quarter. I would say more often, however, we are all very busy, working on our projects quarterly. I mean, we all have our different schedules so it would be hard to schedule one day that everyone is free.
In conclusion, I think our class should do community service because it helps us bond, it makes a difference, it makes us realize how lucky we are, and it teaches is life lessons and traits. We could do a beach clean up, help the less fortunate, and do something for the elderly, our troops, and our veterans. And we could do community service once a quarter because of our busy schedules.
