FRIENDS TALK

I do, but it's not up yet...I'll show you one when I get back. I have to leave for class now...Driving through the dense fog is going to be oohhh so much fun. XD See ya! Oh that reminds me, about the scholarship thing...It helps a ton if you have community service. I have ~70+ hours of community service.

[Cloud Leonhart]

See ya, Athos. XD

Heh. That is true.

On a related subject, the province of Ontario, which is in Canada, requires all high school students to complete a mandatory 40 hours of community service.

If you don't complete the 40 hours of community service, you can't graduate. Of course, you don't need to do it all at once, or even all at the same place. You could do just 1 hour a week if that's what you wanted.

So far I've completed 30.5 hours. I did it in a bunch of different places.

I did about 24 hours at the local SPCA.

I got 3.5 hours for doing a garbage clean up (that's when people walk up and down the streets with garbage bags picking up the trash that people throw on the ground).

I got 1 hour for donating money to UNICEF (my school was holding a special thing on Halloween, where if you wear a Halloween costume and give at least 1 dollar to the office to be sent to UNICEF, you'd get 1 hour. I donated 5 dollars).

I got 2 hours for volunteering at the school for some stuff (I helped clean up the bathrooms. Let me tell you, public bathrooms in schools are horrid. People go there, and half the time they don't flush).

Well, that's it so far. Even though it's mandatory, it still makes you feel good to know that you're helping. For the last 9.5 hours I plan on working at the local United Way.

I did all of the work at different places so I could get diverse work experience to put on my resumeé.

After the 40 hours is done, I plan on volunteering at the SPCA again, because I really like animals.

EDIT: Sorry, I must of clicked submit twice.

[Master InuYasha]

It's noon!

[Hallow]

It's 1:50 pm.

[Cloud Leonhart]

It's almost one on this end.

[Athos]

I've done too much community service to all write down XD

[Hallow]

I see.

[shadow47]

My school never makes us do communitey service. Except for durring ISTEP.

[Cloud Leonhart]

ISTEP?

[shadow47]

It's a test that the state makes us pass to graduate High School. It really makes no sense and its really hard.

[Athos]

Ah so it's like the CAHSEE...YEah, I think it is stupid.

[shadow47]

so how ya been?

same here but we require 10 hours per grade in order to even go onto the next level XD

Ah. In the State of California, the school districts choose whether or not to add community service as part of a graduation requirement. Some schools even make you learn how to swim before you can graduate. If I kept a better job at my community service hours, I would have applied for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA). Also, I just found out that HQ AFOATS released a new ribbon chart for the AFJROTC programs. They added some new national awards, and they added the "Community Service Award with Excellence."
