Community Service

Over the course of the semester I did a lot of Community Service. The hours that I'm counting are from a Best Buddies Friendship Walk and Project Dance. I was at the Best Buddies walk from 8:30-2:30 (including driving time). I went with my buddy and we participated in the walk and then did some activities once it was over. While I was there I felt like I was making a difference because I knew my buddy was having a good time. She wanted to do all of the fun activities and encouraged me to join in with her. For my other four service hours, I did project dance. I've done Project Dance every year that I've been at Stevenson. Each year it is more rewarding because we raise more and more money each year. When I was a Freshman I didn't know what Project Dance really did, I just thought it was a big dance party with all of my friends. But by Sophomore year once I got involved more I  realized what it was really about. My community service goes together a little bit, I was helping Intellectually and Developmentally disabled people but in complete opposite ways.
