Towards the end of my freshman year I was given a project involving community service. We were told to find something about our school that we could improve. This project changed my mind about community service. Before the project, I thought community service was a waste of time. But doing the community service showed me the positive things that can be gained. It made me feel good about myself as well as being fun. Also, I set a good example for others to follow and make a difference in their community.
Surprisingly during this project, I found I had fun helping others improve our community. Simply by doing a project due in class, I realized how much I enjoy giving back to the community. Working to improve a place shared by many people I learned that having fun is a big part of a community project. It brought me closer to my friends and we shared a healthy bond that showed me simple things done in the community are still enjoyable. At PSEC I can will use the positive attitude I learned while doing the project to help make my community and school a better place.
I like to think that by doing this end of the year project I encouraged others to help clean up the community as well. Showing the improvement the project has made to our school, I hope to have shown students that it is possible and fun to make a difference. A contribution I can make to PSEC is by doing everything I can and setting a good example for the other students and the rest of the community.
By doing a project my first year of high school I have prepared myself for Puget Sound Early College and shown what I have to offer. I have shown my positive attitude toward community service and my willingness to help out around the school. I will set a good example for other students, as well as people in the community.
