text: Everyone is entitled to their own personal opinions on certain subjects. For example, opinions about community service. Some kids think its a waste of time to help out around the community, when they have their own stuff to do or worry about. But others feel strongly about making a change or difference in where they live, and keeping everything clean and organized. I myself like to do community service because it makes me feel good about myself that I can effect someone's life in a good manner, but not everyone is like me. I don't think students should be forced to perform community service because all of us are growing up and needing to learn to make our own choices. But talking to all kids and trying to encourage them to make that decision on their own is a good way to start.
