To me, service is the ability and willingness to help others. Whether it be service trips to countries with mass poverty or just attending a service club at Latin, I have been blessed with opportunities to help others in need and that is not something I am willing to waste. At Latin we are all capable of helping others and in my mind there is no excuse not to. I serve because I am able to. There are so many people in the world incapable of helping others because they must help themselves and I strive to give back to those people. The impact of one small act for your community is much larger than anyone realizes. You never know how much effect an extra smile or kind words will have on a person so why not just do it anyways. I was given a life that allows me to have opportunities for service, and I have decided that I will act on these opportunities to help those who need it most.
