What Does Community Service Mean To Me?

What community service means to me is helping someone without expecting anything in return. Community service helps you to gain skills and knowledge, as well as, providing a helping hand to others that need extra help because they can’t do it alone. It makes you feel good knowing you helped others in your community whether it’s cleaning up in a classroom at your school or going to a senior citizen's home and helping there. No matter what you do it will always affect your community, good or bad. There are many different benefits that come out of doing community service, a few of them are psychological, social, and cognitive benefits. Psychological: life satisfaction and feeling good about yourself. Social: engaging yourself with others and your community. Cognitive benefits: earning yourself new experiences and enhancing your knowledge.

Cunnien’s 9th-grade classroom in Summit Academy North High School. She reached out to me at the beginning of the school year asking me for my help getting all of her books organized and logged on the computer. Mrs. Cunnien has been at Summit for a couple years now and she is one of the many wonderful English teachers. She was once the student teacher for Mrs. Bender my 9th-grade year, she moved on to being the 10th grade English teacher when Mrs. Farkas left that position, now she is the 9th grade English teacher. I chose this community service because if you were in her class you would want to be able to find your books easily and not have to dig through the all of the bookshelves, another reason I chose to help was because she has always been the nicest to people and she always helps everyone whenever they needed it and she never asks for much so I felt this was the least I could do for
