text: community service is a very good thing to do. it will help you get into colleges, by putting it on your application. however i don't think that people should be forced to do it. people should, but if they don't want to they shouldn't have to. community service involves helping the community with something. for example, it could involve picking up trash, helping raise the flag, or doing natural work. when i say natural work, i mean like helping plant plants. or fixing light post or any thing that is damaged. if there is a tornado and a lot of things are ruined or in critical condition. then you should help. it should feel good when you help people out.
