Benefits Service learning is a

great way to get involved and give back to one’s community.

It gives one a sense of accomplishment and allows them to take pride in their community. IT’S FUN!!

ReflectionOne of the most satisfying feelings in the world is knowing that you have helped

someone in need.

I have performed community service for a long time, and I definitely plan on

continuing in the future.

Sometimes it is hard and extremely tiring, but the results are without a

doubt worth it in the end.
