text: The first reason why I think community service is a good thing is because it is a great way for students to get involved in their community. Kids these days have a bunch of new technology and they think they can just live off of that and that nothing else matters in the world except beating their high score at the newest video game. Well I have news for them. There are more important things to do than play video games all day. They can join clubs or just help people out. They can join a group that supports local charities or they can join together to help clean up the community. It doesn't have to be boring and you can do it with friends. You get to hang out with your friends while you help others, and I think that's the most important thing of all. We should start getting people involved with more community service.
