text: There are many different opportunities when it comes to community service. One example is volunteering at a nursing home. Elderly people enjoy company and love to see young faces volunteering. In detail, my dancing school and I visit a nursing home every holiday season and perform a dance for the people to enjoy. It makes their day when they see us dancing. Also, when you leave you have a grin from ear to ear knowing that you made someone so happy by doing a task so small. Another example of community service would be picking up trash and helping improve the planet. There are several ways a student could do this. If your out side playing and you see some wrappers that are blowing around picking them up would do a lot for the plant. For example, one fall day my friends and I volunteered at a local farm to plant trees and clean up trash. After a long day of work we improved the environment by a ton. Also, it felt good knowing that we did something that benefited the entire community. Finally, you can do community service by volunteering for people in need. An example is at a homeless shelter. For example, every year in the winter time we send over one hundred pairs of gloves, socks and hats to people who can not afford them. It means a lot when I know that someone's life will benefit from a small gesture. All these tasks will certainly benefit the community.
