many different people form different opinions and have different viewpoints on community service. some people are eager to volunteer, some may have none of the motivation or want to do so, and some people just generally have no time. personally i think that community service is very beneficial and can serve several pros. doing community service could strengthen your knowledge in general. being curious and going places to learn to do things, or even to strengthen the experience of something you already know what to do could be very useful for your future. it could go from learning to better help young children, to improve skills like cleaning, maybe cooking, or helping animals too. maybe you could even volunteer at your dream job so you can get a better view on everything. community service could also be an amazing way to strengthen your reputation. constantly coming around and offering things to do for stores, or organizations could maybe even do things like give you pathways to other wonderful things like jobs opportunities, or other amazing opportunities. a good rep also brings very positive people, and they could be looking forward to see you around later. not only would this boost your reputation as a whole, but it would boost your school's reputation too. when people find out that you are helping and coming from 'this' school, or whichever school, it could get them to tell people nice things about the school, or for others to sign up their kids with the school. it would show people that their school not only cares about the education of the student, but it would also show that they care about the students being active and gaining experiences. although all of these are good benefits for yourself and the school and all that, but helping people in general is just a really good thing to do. along with helping them, you could gain friendships with them, and even learn new things from these people. it gives you good karma, and could also give you a better idea of how to associate with others. life in general is about socializing with other people and giving back to back. community service is just a big stepping stool for all of this to set place.
