During my spring break i had did some community service in my neighborhood. Some of the things that i had did with my time was watch my lil brother ( didnt get paid for it haha ), also cleaned my street for a hour on the Saturdays that had past so far. I had learned that by doing this it has helped me learned how important it is to give back to your community. My neighborhood is in the heart of South Philly and people dont really worry about it. So when i was cleaning my street i felt as if i was doing this for the better, meaning i wasnt only doing this because i had to i was doing this because it made me feel good and made my neighborhood a better place.
Also watching my lil brother is a pain. But it was a good thing i had watched him because it was helping my mother she got to go out with her friends to the mall and also it had helped me realize how hard it is to handle a lil kid. My mother i know it is very hard on her between work and also having to try to take care of him and provide for him and me. But this also thought me alot about living.
These experiences really helped me. I m very glad that this school has this program for me. These things that i m doing is making me a better person for me and for this community. Thank you for your time. Hopefully you will go out and try this yourself, believe me it is a great time giving back.
