Weekly Reflection 11/30/12

Last week, before the break, we went on a trip to two community service projects, on the same day. The first trip we went to was the Georgia Justice Project. The Georgia Justice Project is a community service program to find good lawyers and support for people who have been convicted of a crime but are too poor to afford a good lawyer. We learned how they supported people in need of support, by helping their families and building relationships with their clients. Our tour guide was really funny and I enjoyed it a lot. Our next trip was to the Genesis Shelter, which is a place where homeless families with newborn babies can stay for 6 months. We toured the whole place and got to see some of the classes. I think that community service is good for you and good for the people you are helping. It feels good knowing that you made a difference in someone else’s life. It feels like you accomplished something. I think that people that don’t give back to the community are not as happy as those who do. My father always says if you give then you will get.
