Community Service Reflections

• After completing 8 hours of hard community
  service in one day, I really felt a sense of what

  help out on your own time just to help out those

  today. It is no longer punishment for getting in
  trouble to me, but instead a way of giving
  something back to the community that will help
  others throughout the community.
