text: There are many benefits to community service, for one your helping someone in the community ever time you pick up a pop can or take 15 minutes to help a neighbor or fellow classmate with home work he might not understand. Community service is a way to make a difference, but its something you want to do not have to. If you do community service because you want to then you get to feel the reward and how good it feels to help someone besides yourself. If you have to do it you don't get to feel any of that also if you don't want to do it then you probably won't do you best or even enjoy it.
