Affecting Others

Most people don't realize how there actions, positive or negative effect others. In a good or bad way. A great way to experience sociology in a positive way would be community service. Community Service by defination means- "services which are identified by an institution of higher education, through formal or informal consultation with local nonprofit, governmental, and community-based organizations, as designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income individuals, or to solve particular problems related to their need" Also Community service is also a great way to reach out to others who aren't living as good as a life as you are. We are so shelter from everything that goes on in our life that we don't take notice to what are the thing that go around us. We are to worried about ourself when we fall to see the big picture,  We should start putting other before ourself. One great way to do is this is like community service. 


This summer I was really changed when i went on this mission trip (another word for Service Project) with my church CHWC ( Catholic Heart Work Camp) for one week. We went down to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, to help other who where; poor, old, homeless, daycare.  We were going be be there for a one week, 8 hour work days.  My group was from around the states, they ranged from Michigan to New York. Our Work site was at an orderly lady named Sherry, at her house. She told us that we had to paint her fence, paint the basement. It was really hard, considering that her basement was all with mold and we had to cover that up, and paint the fence with an oil base, Which got all over my shirt and shorts. My group was amazing, i will always remember the times i spent with them in that hot basement painting. But at the end other the day when were where done in 5 days we had there, to see the look on her face was priceless, it was the best feeling in the world when you know that you effected someone's life. You have touched it. She will always remember us. In some special place in her heart. the  thing about Sociology you effect others if you like it our not. But, if you want to do something then go do something for someone else. In this short life that we have make something other your self. We all die some day but, it is your choice on how you want to be remembered.
