Community Service!!

     Service is such a great opportunity. I have done so many service projects in the past, but this is one of the few ones that I  have done where I actually get to interact and see the people that I am affecting. I thought it was really cool being able to talk to them. I had so much fun and I love being able to give back to the community. It was nice seeing all the other volunteers there as well. The thing about giving is you get back in someway. I think the best thing about community service is being able to give and affect others lives. 
  I got to work at the special Olympics. It was amazing. The people there were so nice and really fun to talk to. I had a blast. I love knowing that I can help and make a difference in people's lives. What may seem so little to us can make a a huge difference in others life. I loved being able to talk to the people there and hearing all their stories. Those short five hours of helping them seemed nothing to me, but it meant a lot to them.
   I also had the opportunity to spend 3 hours reading to children. This was a lot of fun. It was a wonderful chance. Reading to them is something that doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but after talking to some of the kids I realized that the little and simple things can make a big difference. I had so much fun listening to the kids and reading the stories to them.
