Is there more than one way to do service? Yes. The fact is there are more ways than one to do service/show that you care. There is charity a famous one that rich people do it all the time. Giving money to people who need health care or who is poor it is very common of the rich to look good. Like me last year I did two types of service because I had the school and everyone in it recycle cans. The money was given to an orphanage in Thailand. I did a service to the community with recycling cans. Also I did charity with giving the money to the orphanage. There are so many ways to do service like time is a good example. Also last year I went to the assisted living across the way from Summit. I went t visit the elderly for two hours (if not then pretty close) with my rising stars class. I remember this one lady I visited was named Joyce she was very polite and she shared almost her whole marriage life with me. She shared how she lived during the great depression, how her husband died, and all about her kids. It was a really neat experience. If I could I would go back and relive those two hours it felt so good to be visiting with her.

I was asked one time “if you won 10 million dollars but had to give half to charity. Which charity and why?” and my response was I would give it to those in foster care and to those who are I orphanages. My understanding they don’t get to see their families which I can have some empathy for them. I don’t know exactly how they feel but I do know what it is like to not be able to be with your family even need or even want to.
