text: As some children may feel as if community service is a punishment, but I feel its a reward! You get to make many other people happy, and it doesn't cost anything but your time and effort. For example cleaning up a park puts a smile on every kid there, as well as their parents. "Bingo!" Another example is playing board games with the elderly! The youth of today might not understand that people in nursing homes may not get that much attention, or visitors, and they could get bored and lonely themselves. Even just volunteering to help out at the local soup kitchen would be a great help! Personally, putting a smile on someone's face is one of the greatest achievements one can get.
