Question

The Best & Brightest Awards places a special emphasis on the dedication to community service. Analyze this quote and write an essay describing how involvement in community service can make a difference in our community and/or for yourself as you prepare to enter high school.

Answer 1

Community service is extremely important to highlight social agendas in society and to promote justice and support communities and groups that are fragile and marginalized in our country. Participating in this type of activity during high school is essential for the student to understand his role as a socially privileged individual, in addition to having knowledge about social issues and developing his sense of compassion and generosity, since community service is a job that we do it for the people who need it, without receiving anything in return, besides the satisfaction of promoting the good.

However, it is important that this participation is a choice of students. This is because community services need dedicated people who participate in activities out of love for others and concern for the community. A person, who is obliged to participate, will not have these characteristics.
