There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing people gather together to celebrate a common goal. Community service to me is something that every citizen that is capable and willing to give back, should do it as a sign of gratitude to those who have fallen and are still fighting for the freedom of this beautiful nation. My community service record started when I join A.F.J.R.O.T.C (Air force junior reserve officer training corps) at Aviation High school. The experience gather at this program was invaluable. One of the most memorable moments that I remember while being a cadet at this prestigious program was when Hurricane Sandy happened. As we all remember, Hurricane Sandy was one of the worst catastrophes that has happen to the east coast. Far Rockaway was one of the most hit areas hurricane sandy affected. …show more content…
Integrity, service before-self and excellence in all we do. All those words were put to a test when around 50 cadets from my unit where send to Far Rockaway only 6 days after the hurricane had cause it’s damage. When we arrived at Far Rockaway, the scene was jaw dropping to say the least. Cars, boats, roofs, buses were the view that you could see for miles. Our mission at Far Rockaway, was to help FEMA give out food to those less fortune and to also help a church that was totally demolished by the strong winds of the hurricane. The most important lesson I learned from this experience was that what we take for granted one day, might be the most necessary the other and that when we come together as a community when a incident that affects everyone happens that truly reflects the second core value of service before self, in the sense that everyone is relying on someone else to make there day better and
I have been a part of different activities for my community service. I have helped the TLC preschool afterschool with cleaning tables and toys once all the children have gone home. I have also been to the shelly baird school where they disabled kids go for schooling and helped out there with the students doing their work and played games .I am currently in “Dude Be Nice Club” and recently we participated in project night night where we would gather donated security blankets a book or stuffed animal and deliver them to children who have very little in homeless shelters. My community service in this case helped me realize that there are people out there who need some encouragement to help them get back on their feet and realize in life that
It was a dark, stormy afternoon when I alone faced the greatest fear of my life. It was thundering outside, and the sky was draped in dark rolling thunderheads. The weather was forecasted to get worse with severe chances of a hurricane. I was on vacation with my family at Florida, and we were staying at a hotel in Miami.
When I went to sleep I had no Idea I was going to wake up to a huge storm as I got out of bed I saw that my tree was on the ground it looked like a never tried to chew it down to make a dam. That's when I turned on the news and saw that there was a hurricane.
The acts of community service I have participated in FBLA has taught and strengthen my belief that charity is the most important gestures any person can due to have a beneficial impact in the world; is to help a person in need. For instances, our organization has collected Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in the Henry County community each year and the act of giving a child without access to toys for the holidays something as simple as a toy car has brought the greatest

Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 23rd, 2005. It was considered a category five hurricane and complete devastated the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, which is my home. At the time I was a merely five years old, but I remember the aftermath. The coming home to empty slabs where houses use to stand, neighbors who had disappeared or perished with the storm, and the constant fear of looting and criminal acts happening in the small devastated town of Waveland. All of this struck home in the heart of a young Landon Brady, and always has. At a very young age I was forced to adapt and strengthen my will, for my entire environment had turned upside down. Before the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina I lived in a medium size home and went on with life as any five year old
I was around seven or eight when Hurricane Katrina hit. I do not remember much about the event besides what the news said and what my family relayed to me. I had been living in Georgia for about a year or two when Hurricane Katrina had hit. Being so young I was not as knowledgable about the disaster until I was older. It was hard for me to be sympathetic because I was ignorant to what was truly going on. I remember my mom watching the news and telling my older brother and I to be more grateful for things but I never truly understood why. I remember lots of people moving to Georgia especially to my neighborhood. There was one family that I remember vividly. They lived in the same building as me, they had three boys, a girl, and a dog. They were
I felt a chill run through my body as I stood outside my car and watched the hazy water continuously rush over the sea wall and into the street. I began to step back as the water crept closer to the car’s tires. The water carried debris from boats and homes; I saw a broken bike tire drift and eventually grasp onto a metal pole which had once been a fishing rod. The three big sail boat docks had broken free and now drifted out of the Pine Orchard Harbor and onto the Ruwe’s front lawn and behind the tennis courts; I was afraid that the abandoned paddle boards would do the same. The road was filled with about six feet of water; Ms. Molly was kayaking in the blockaded road. Mr. and Ms. Quinn had stumbled outside his stout home to see how much damage Hurricane Irene had really accomplished overnight. This was the first glimpse I had had at her destruction after spending two days in my powerless home. I heard my parents speaking to Mr. Quinn in hushed voices saying that we were in the eye of the storm. As the wind began to pick up, my mother ordered my family to return to the GMC. My stomach churned as the nausea rose inside of me. I climbed back into my car.
My mind is a hurricane, 170 miles per hour, It’s cold in there, All I feel is freezing showers, Thoughts of love, Thoughts of hate, Horrid things I procrastinate, Love became jaded, Thoughts of glee been faded, Heart on frostbite, From being unappreciated, I really hate it, But like Lil Uzi, That’s the way life goes, Oppression, From depression, Got my brain on froze, I’m down bad, I’m stuck at the crossroads, With no sense of direction, It’s been a long time since I felt love and affection, this bitter treatment is an overgrown infection,
“Community Service is important for many reasons. Taking part and volunteering teaches compassion and understanding. You can volunteer for something you really believe and have an interest in, and can volunteer as much or as little as you'd like or have time for.” Community service is really easy to get into. I mean, it is not like you have to put out an application and have an interview in order to do it. It is really easy to get into, and is really fun. It is things you wouldn’t even think are considered, like:
