text: it should be required for students to do community service because it helps them get college credits. Surprisingly, when colleges look at applications they notice things like community service hours. Making it mandatory can help students chances of them getting into the college of their choice. If one loves animals they can do community service in a animal shelter; they can enjoy the work and still get credits out of it, so everyone wins. If someone likes children they can work at an orphanage doing simple things like putting kids in a ruby red bed or taking care of feeding them. Clearly, enjoying a job while getting college credits can really help one's future.
