Community Service

Valdosta State UniversitySara Moye

I did most of the community service with my cheerleading squad

On January the 17th and 19th I volunteered to

build a house on Peeples street. The first day I

nailed wood over the ceiling and the

second day I evened out the front yard with a

shovel and rake! It was hard work, but in the end I felt a sense of pride in helping build a

house for someone in need!

cheerleaders had a clinic to teach

children the basic fundamentals of

cheerleading. Here we are

playing “duck, duck, goose”.

We worked with the little cheerleaders for five hours and taught them a cheer and dance to perform at half time.

Goodwill Volunteering

I volunteered at Goodwill for 2 hours. We helped organize

clothes and other items that were donated.

more oxygen!

COA Competition

Volunteering for 8 hours in Macon, Georgia for an all

day competition. My cheerleading squad

unloaded trucks full of spring flooring and mats

and built 2 spring floors…sound easy? Definitely not! Then we had to manage the

competition.

Adopt a child for Christmas

No, I did not adopt a child, but I did

buy a gift for a child who does not usually get a gift for Christmas. The child I gave a

gift to was a 4 year old girl.

She really wanted a princess dress. So I got her a beautiful yellow princess dress with

matching play shoes and a sparkling princess crown.

Volunteering was an awesome way to feel appreciated. I love to help those in need. All the community service I have

done has made me feel like a better person. My favorite volunteering job would have to be the cheerleading clinic for small children. I felt like a

leader, and those children looked up to me. Nothing can express that feeling!

Community service is a way to become a better person and feel better about

yourself!
