Service Learning Experience

I regret that I have a limited amount of service experience. The only service I have done was for my economics and government classes and to fulfill my National Honors Society requirements. For economics and government, I volunteered at Harvest Hope Food Bank. I helped with sorting produce such as oranges and onions into separate bags for families. Also, I helped restock the shelves at the food pantry. This experience was very fulfilling because I knew it was for a good, needy cause. For the National Honors Society, I volunteered at Relay For Life. I chose this service oportunity since my grandfather was a cancer victim. I don't know whether to even consider Relay for Life as community service because all that was required was to show up. However, I did help with preparations. I decorated and wrote names of cancer victims on paper bags. These bags were later filled with sand and a candle, then they were placed around the track of our high school's stadium and lit. During the event, I walked around the track.
