Lending a Helping Hand
f you asked any senior what they thought would be the worst part of
the year, many would have said the requirement of community service.
IEver since seventh grade, we have heard how inconvenient and unnec­
essary this requirement was. It wasn’t until we experienced it for ourselves
that we realized how beneficial it was, not just to the community, but to
ourselves.
Each senior had to volunteer 32 hours of service which dealt directly with
the needy. Some seniors worked in hospitals as candy stripers or as helpers
in the E.R. Others helped the elderly at the Jewish Home by being a friend
and talking to them. The service did not have to deal with just the elderly,
but also with children. A few seniors worked at Camp Good Days over the
summer which got their service requirement out of the way, while others read
to children after school.
These services might have seemed trivial to most, but to the people they
affected, it meant a great deal. By volunteering our services, we saw how
fortunate we were and how something so unimportant in our lives, can make
a needy persons day more enjoyable.
