Community Service Requirement at NHS Should be Praised
Letter to the editor from NHS student Alli Brennan as a journalism assignment.
Dear Editor,
An positive issue in my school that I think deserves praise is the requirement for fifty hours of community service needed in order to graduate. I think this deserves praise most high school students wouldn't go out to do service otherwise. Community service develops morals and helps people realize what they can do for not only their community, but the world. Sometimes it can seem tedious but when it is put into perspective, people can see the positive aspects that come with it. Community service also improves college applications. Most colleges require a certain amount of community service hours, and the hours that we need in order to graduate is helping us meet the requirement. It can help make a well-rounded person. Community service is a very admirable aspect about my school that deserves to be praised, especially since it doesn't get the attention that it should.
