During my senior year of high school, it was required for all seniors to complete 40 hours of community service and a community service course. I was placed with a Head Start program at a local elementary school. The Head Start program aims to give children, ages 3-5 years old, from low income families the pre-school education they otherwise could not afford. I worked with these children twice a week, 2 hours a day from serving their breakfast to reading storybooks and playing games with them. This community service experience allowed me to realize that these organizations need all the help they can get and that although I was limited in my abilities, I was still a crucial part of their program. It was a very positive experience for me and I had a lot of fun working with the children.
