So at my school, they decided that all freshmen and sophomores do 30 hours of community service a year, which will add up to 140 hours by your senior year. Now, I am a lazy child. I don't like getting up the morning, I don't like doing homework or chores, but my mom always says "Even if you don't want to do it, you gotta do it to get it outta the way". This whole thing is killing me because it has to do with hunger and poverty. I would much rather do some community work that includes helping animals, but nooooooo it has to do with stupid hunger and poverty (=_____=)
Don't get me wrong, I love helping people and all, but I just hate seeing things like people living in poverty or the starving children around the world on those depressing UNICEF commercials. It makes me realize how lucky, yet spoiled I am. People are begging for clean water and food while I'm in my house treating myself to being able to wash my face every morning and night and enjoying a nice, warm cup of ramen noodles while listening to the sexy Jay Park. It made me think, "Do I really deserve this?" But, I learned to not take anything for granted. Maybe that's the whole point of this service project? Well, whatever the hell it is, I don't wanna do the work for it. If only we could snap our fingers and all the starving people be fed and the homeless people are given mansions with the greatest necessities one could ask for. Hopefully that day will come very soon.
Until next time, take care
