community service essay

another crazy day in the life of our unsuspecting character, Kiwi Vergara..

I have to admit that doing community service wasn't just a walk in the ballpark. When they said that it was hard, it was really hard. I had to see it for my eyes when I first set foot upon the humble adobe of what was called Marco Polo Home(orphanage). It was an experience for me to remember. Seeing all those children for the first time in my life. There were around 20 I think moving around being hyperactive and all. The job wasn't an easy task because from that experience we really had to be patient in order to make thes children listen. Most of them were running around in circles and playing around. We had to think up of stuff thats really kind of used up and silly just to grab an ounce of attention.

Overall, the expercience wasn't all that bad. I feel lucky that I have parents around to help support me in my life. Those children don't. It makes you think of what life could be without them, my school and all the stuff I've been receiving. Being poor is one thing from being orphaned. These children tackle these problems all at the same time.

I don't really have a solution for the problems these kids have but it really opened my eyes with the time I spent with them. Even though they get to my nerves at times you'll just love them whenever they hug you and play with you. With the smiles they always wear, who could resist smiing too.
