Don’t do it if you don’t want to. Some high schools require it for graduation. Ultimately, though, colleges are looking for people who are going to make a difference in the world-- not just people who sit around and get a degree from their college, but people who are going to get a degree and use it to impact others. I think community service shows that potential and that willingness to go out and help others.
