An open mind...

I am actually very excited about the ten hours of community service we need to complete for Soc. I actually find it funny that we only have ten hours to complete. It's such a small amount but just enough to inspire and change someone, that's for sure! I speak from experiences because last semester for Political Thought I was assigned to do ten hours of community service. I chose to do it at Sunrise Assistant Living. It was a super crazy and emotional experience. At first it was very uncomfortable, I almost felt scared and nervous. But as I want more, I got much more comfortable with the environment and people that I was working with. It was a rewarding experience. It opened up my eyes to a whole in world, the elderly world. It has pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and take initiative. I am difficultly excited about doing community service. I'm interested in doing multiple things and maybe even doing it something different this time. I want to go beyond what I learned the first time, open up my mind more and step even further out of my comfort zone. Through community service, I learned what it means to be a part of something bigger than just myself. I just feel like community service is the least un-slefish thing you can ever do and coming from a world where people constantly worry about just themselves, i believe it a very important experience.
