Community Service

I did my first service at the Calvary Church on Halloween. Every year the Church throws a carnival for everyone and gives out candy and has games for the children to play. I volunteered to be in charge of one of the games. It is a great thing that the church does for families and children and it is not just for church members everyone in the surrounding towns and other churches and beliefs are invited to come at no cost. This experience was a great one because it made me so happy to see how happy these children were. A lot of the children did not have much and came from broken homes and for the church to do that for these children and allowing me to be a part of it was wonderful and made me realize even more that I can't wait to become a teacher and help as many children that I can. The other service I did was at St. Joesph's in Elizabeth on Thanksgiving. My mother and I went together and we get there about 7 am and start to cook and get everything set up for when the people come in. When they come most of them have young children with them and it just breaks my heart. Their are counselors on sit for the adults to talk to and hot food for them to eat. In the church there is a play room where me and other volunteers play games and color and give the kids food and snacks. These children are amazing and the worst thing is that most of them didn't have a home to go to that night. Doing volunteer work really makes you appreciate what you have but most importantly that everyone is the same and deserves the same chance at life.
