Service Projects • For habitat for humanity I helped to build a house. • I also volunteered for the South Georgia Classis golf tournament where I made sure the crowd remained quiet while the golfers teed off, made sure the golfers were hydrated, and kept the bibs organized and in order.

Why I do Community Service I think I have become a better person by volunteering. Doing community service makes me appreciate what I have and what I have been blessed with. I try not to take my life for granted after seeing what other people have to endure. It is always an eye-opener for me. It is refreshing to know that my help can make some else’s life easier.
