text: Helping your community should be a reward itself, so why doesn't everyone help out? High schools everywhere have their students go out and log their community service hours. Doing and performing community service is a great act of kindness and should be done. Next, some community service projects can be as small as picking up random litter off the street, or as large as Habitat for Humanity. Helping people isn't a waste of time, sitting at home is a waste of time. Community service may take a long time or maybe even five minuets to complete. To graduate High School you have to have so many hours of community service, so why not start in Middle School? Maybe this will help someone find a career later in life that has to do with helping people.
