There are many different types of service. From volunteering in classrooms to serving in a third world country. Service is something that can be defined several ways. To me, service means helping others for no international benefit or gain. Although community service is required for this class, I don't serve because of the requirement. I serve because I want to help kids who are in a lower socioeconomic range than those in Saline. For my service, I have chosen to volunteer at Fortis Academy which is a charter school in Ypsilanti. I help out in a forth grade classroom by working with the students, helping grade papers, helping students with lower reading levels read, giving verbal quizzes, or helping the librarian sort books for students to read by reading level. To me, this is a rewarding experience, because the students I work with help me appreciate certain things and they enjoy having me help with the class.
