Community Service

Community Service
In my senior year I have had to complete 20 hours of community service to graduate. Throughout the year I have done about five different jobs for people. My first experience was for at the happy valley elementary school. I had to help set up for the harvest festival. We set up game booths and tables to put food and games on. For the rest of the day I got to run one of the game stations. It was . I had to go around and put different shapes under little circle mats that where in a circle kind of a circle close enough. So that when the music stops and they stop on a mat they can pick it up to see if they won anything. Mostly they won candy and for the rare ones they got a king size candy bar. After doing that for about six hours it was time to clean up. So we helped take the tables in side and take down all the declarations and put them in the storage.
The next one I did was short but fun I got to go around and sell Rafael tickets or 50/50 tickets for sober grad for 2 hours at a varsity football game. I walked around the football field about 50 times and every time I decided to the other team’s side it was vary awkward because they were losing so I decided to stay away from that side. What I did is took a deck of cards and gave the people who bought one half the card and after they all sold I had the football announcers and they picked a card and announced it.
In my opinion my most boring time was ringing bells for the Salvation Army. I stood in front of KB toys witch is now closed. I did this a couple days before Christmas and sang Christmas songs for anyone who would be brave enough to listen. That day I raised about 150$ and almost froze to death.
My fourth experience was a 8th grade dinner dance for the happy valley school and I had to set up lots of tables and move lots of hay bails to outline the room we set up a stage for a band to come play and put wall paper all around the room we set the tables and put table cloths on every table I spent about 2 hours in a small room making it completely dark in there for pictures. At about 8 we got pizza for coming to help. I left about 9 and went home.
My last and final experience was a sober grad car wash I had to go to a corner and wave a sign to let them know where it was after about an hour another school came by and started a car wash right across the street. After another hour I went up and got pizza and helped wash and dry cars for the rest of the day. We did this for about 4 hours and made over 600 dollars for sober grad

Pakistan’s Islamic Schools Fill Void, but Fuel Militancy

This article talks about how people in packastan are only 20% literate and that 80% are illiterate. They are trying to build more schools in packastan but the people their wont allow anyone to continue on with school parents have stoped thier kids with scolor ships but make them turn it dwon and go get a job. Every girl in packenstan except the higher class and parents who send them out of the county for an educattion.

I think that this dose affect not olny them but it affects everyone that is helping them learn people have lost thier life trying to teach them be geting burned alive and thats was for trying to help then read and wright. it would also help us alot becuase we wouldent be sepending 690 million dollars to thier county to help them learn that is just geting burned down.

So in the long run i think that if we send money or people we need to send troops to protect it other wise we shouldent send it becuase it will just get burned down.
