[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think community service is overrated. Colleges want nice kids who will get along with other kids. So if you can show you're a well liked babysitter in neighborhood or "glue" kid in friend group, that works. And they want impact. So doing something at school or PT job with measurable impact also works. Sure, you can play violin at nursing home but it's not impactful and it doesnt show much about your personality [/quote] It’s weird to single out community service as a thing that doesn’t demonstrate the qualities you note: impact, social cohesion. Going weekly to play violin at a nursing home shows both of these things. So does working weekly in a food pantry. So does helping kids learn to read. Choosing to serve your community in a regular, committed way is the definition of social cohesion and impact. [/quote]
