IN THE NAME OF SERVICE

Among the listed community services, two activities gave me a remarkable and
memorable experience. These are, joining a clean-up drive in our barangay, and
planting trees together with other youth in our community. Extending and volunteering to
help the community has been requisite to engender enhancement and improvement in
such specific areas that need to be addressed in a community.

Opting to join community services especially if the said activity deals with nature,
made my heart flutter and made me want to enthusiastically join to maintain the
splendor beauty of nature. As the former President of the Youth for Environment in
School's Organization (YES-O) in my alma mater, Plaridel National High School, we
have the mission to lead the student body to maintain cleanliness, orderliness, and
attain a greener environment. Nevertheless, our mission does not limit to the school
premises, but we adhere to having the vision to spread awareness to the community.
Hence, we cooperate with the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) and the Barangay Officials
of Plaridel. Thus, we work with optimism hand in hand.

Consequently, the lesson and value I learned in joining a clean-up drive in our
barangay and planting trees in the community were, with our little ways of taking action,
we make a big leap towards attaining a cleaner environment. We upheld the value of
being a nature enthusiast who cares for the present setting of the community and also
for the future life of the society. Additionally, we could contribute to the protection of the
environment, hence attaining comfortable and sustainable living. Through bringing out
the sense of volunteerism and self-empowerment, these services have become an
avenue to build a stronger connection with others that increases the essence of
camaraderie. Thus, making a positive impact on the environment that helps address the
problems of the community.

Processing Questions:

1. I believe that the Me in My Community symbolizes the unique characteristics and

values we have in ourselves which can be an immense help in terms of community
development. We have the capacity, capability, verve, and specific skills which need to
be harnessed and be useful to the community. Through helping to attain community
development programs and projects, we could live harmoniously with each other and
achieve a good rapport. Hence, make use of the knowledge, values, and skills we have
in ourselves to foster community development and boost volunteerism and self-
empowerment.

2. The discombobulating current crisis has been a driving force for us to impede our
sense of engaging in community efforts. Due to the fact of we were restricted and our
actions have been limited, hence we are stuck in our respective residences. Thus, to
ameliorate the problems faced in our community amidst this pandemic, the way must
start within ourselves. We must engage enthusiastically in a community development
project administered by the local officials and the barangay officials because the change
precisely starts with our will to take action. We must show interest in keeping in touch
through activities, actions, and projects for this could be a good opportunity to pick up
and enhance new skills. Consequently, we could double our efforts and impacts if we
collaborate using innovative and digital platforms. Above all, the significance of
engaging oneself in a community development project is that we can boost our sense of
self-satisfaction, social, responsibility and enhance our knowledge.

What I Have Learned

1. Why is volunteerism and self-empowerment important in organizing school-

community development projects?

In my perspective, volunteerism, and self-empowerment are important in

organizing school-community development projects because these two commendable
characteristics are intertwined with each other which likely produce a positive impact on
the community and make any programs and projects a success. The utmost goal of a
community development project is to help others and deal with the problems and needs
of the community. However, before we can help and volunteer, we need first to
empower ourselves by understanding our strengths and weaknesses and making
positive choices for our betterment. Hence, we'll be able to maximize our strengths to do
something for our growth. Learning about oneself is a key component to harnessing the
essence of volunteerism and self-empowerment which leads to attaining a significant
goal. Therefore, deeming up with our values to substantially impact our society through
community development projects and programs.

2. How can you influence other students to participate in school community

development projects?

I can influence other students to participate in school community development

projects by upholding the value of stewardship and camaraderie for the betterment and
development of the school community. The proper decorum must begin within
ourselves. Hence, it's essential to maximize our strengths and overcome our
weaknesses to be able to empower ourselves which is requisite to magnanimously
influence other students. Moreover, I must foster my ability to appropriately lead the
activity or program to be commended by the people that surround me, hence becoming
a good example to them. Consequently, through being benevolent and compassionate
to the needs of the school community, I'll be able to engender harmony and a good
rapport that positively impacts the community we live in. Therefore, through these, I'll be
able to immensely influence other students to be active in participating in community
development.
