Community Service Requirements

I personally think that community service should be a requirement by high schools.  Community service is not only a great way to give back to the community, but it is also a way to feel satisfied about yourself.  In our modern day society, there are rare instances where we see good morals exhibited on a daily basis.  I think that if we require community service, students will understand the value of helping others.

Community service isn't only useful for self-satisfaction; they instill good morals and build up students character.  By consistently doing community service, students will be demonstrating quality citizenship on a daily basis.  Another key aspect that community service emphasizes is discipline.  I think that if students have to do community service, they will be forced to budget their time better.  With another activity on their plate, students will have to prioritize, thus furthering their preparation for the real world in the future.  Community service is a great way to improve students and create higher quality citizens for the future.
