text: Yes community service is a good thing, but what if you do not have time for it. I, for example, am involved in many sports that take up a lot of my time. There is just no room in my busy schedule to fit in community service. This might be the same for other kids my age. They might not want to do community service but it really helps our environment and people who need it. But it would still be nice to complete some hours before high school.
