The community service that i will be talking about is my trip to Tijuana to build a house for a family. It was two summers ago through young life. There was a group of about 30 kids and 30 adults that went down many of whom were close friends of mine. The “house” as they called it, was more of a shack which we built in a little under 5 days.  All the supplies were given to us and ready for assembly.  We poured a foundation built studs and then stuccoed the walls.  This experience was incredibly positive for me.  Not only did i learn immensely about the poverty that exists so close to me, i also was able to help out a family in need by providing them with a new place to live.  In addition to this it was a very fun trip.  As with most service learning positions, I had no idea what to expect going into the situation.  But with a positive attitude and the knowledge that you are going to be helping someone who is in need, i feel that the situation will often turn out to be positive and productive.
