text: All people are entitled to an opinion. My opinion is that community service should be required. Some people think that community service is a waste of time but they don't know how it can change your outlook on life. It can look good on college and job applications. If you wanted to be a teacher, you could go to a local elementary school to read or tutor children of all ages. It tells people that your dedicated to your job. Little things like this can do wonders.
