    I am a 17 year old senior in high school and was asked to participate in creating and executing a community service project. My first reaction is to talk to my mother, she is very involved in the community and would have some good ideas. The one that stood out to me was doing a coat drive! Last year we did a small one that ended up providing mostly adult women’s coats. This year an organization that I’ve been a part of for four years, HOSA, is doing a coat drive and I’ve asked if I could piggy back on their project. The person in charge of the coat drive is Bailey Clark, she is the current president of HOSA. HOSA is a great organization that prepares high school students for working in the medical community after graduating.

The soldiers and generals in the army had little to no experience, and they lacked supplies such as quality clothing, proper shelters, and sufficient food. The Continental Army was led by George Washington, one of the best generals in U.S. history, who taught the soldiers almost everything they knew. On October 1777, British General Howe brought his army of 18,000 redcoats into the national capital of Philadelphia.

The American Revolution was a war between what is now known as the United States, and Great Britain, in which the United States were fighting for their freedom. The reason for British inclusion was that they needed the colonies (the United States) for resources and for taxes. Three years into the American Revolution and it’s Winter, 1777. General Washington needed somewhere secure to relocate his army for the Winter. Enter Valley Forge, a military camp in Pennsylvania. If I had a choice of either staying in Valley Forge for the Winter or returning home, I would not have stayed in Valley Forge for the following reasons; sickness and death were rife, the living conditions were horrendous, and the continental army was running out of supplies. The soldiers

    With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning

The act of volunteering gives people a sense of responsibility and makes one feel needed and useful to society, one way or another. Students should be obligated to give back to their communities through acts of community service.
