I don’t think you should do community service just to look good on a college application.
I think you should do it because you are lucky enough to be able to give back. My kids live a finer lifestyle than I did as a child with more advantages. It makes me feel lucky to have been able to give things to my kids, but it makes me feel better to have them give their time and energy to make others lives better and easier. As a family, we are very service oriented , and I am always looking for more ways to spread it around…without notice too, I might add.
