Many schools to-day make it a require-ment that all studentslog a certain numberof community servicehours throughout the

year. We have alwaysbelieved in volunteer-

ing and giving back tothe community but themost important thing toremember is that its notabout the quantity butthe quality.

Our sons highschool requires a minimumof 20 hours which isnt hardfor him since hes beenspeaking and encouraging

people at other schools,

the real meaning of community service

organization, and eventssince he started his busi-ness, Pencil Bugs, in 2005.In addition to that, hesbeen donating and holdingfundraisers for childrenscharities since 2006. How-ever, when we sign off onhis school community ser-vice form, we have never

counted the practice or preptime and especially nevercounted the travel time. Ijust recently learned that hisschool counts all that whichseems to promote studentsusing or abusing the sys-tem. It also takes away fromthe whole spirit of commu-nity service.

If putting a mini-mum hour requirement isntenough to lose the realmeaning of volunteering,theres also a bigger car-rot out there the Presi-dential Volunteer ServiceAward. Depending on apersons age, a bronze,silver, or gold medal couldbe received based on thenumber of hours served.

Maybe thats the key word,served. Should traveltime really be consideredas serving the community?

For those who arecollege bound, a lot of em-

phasis is placed on howmany community servicehours a student has. Doesit look good on a collegeapplication if a studentwas involved in their com-munity, volunteered, andgave back in some way?Of course it does, but towhat degree?

Just as with any-

thing in life, it really doescome down to quality notquantity. If a student hasa 4.0 GPA and has accu-mulated hundreds of com-munity service hours, theywill be looked more highlyupon when compared toa student who has a 3.0with fewer hours. Howev-er, whether its a collegeevaluating or a prospective

employer or anyone elsefor that matter, it wouldcertainly make a huge dif-ference if they knew thestudent cheated to get that4.0 or counted travel timefor their community servicehours.

Encouraging peo-ple of all ages to volunteer,give back, and serve theircommunity is a good thing.What doesnt make senseis when too much empha-sis is placed on how muchthey do verses what theydo.

Quality versesquantity is a global issueand the problem extendsbeyond volunteering. Thereare so many areas of life

where people have lost thevalue of quality and think

nothing of padding thenumbers, cutting corners,or taking advantage of thesystem.

We need to remem-ber what it really means tovolunteer or serve the com-munity. There are so manyways that one person reallycan make a difference andit might be as simple as giv-ing a blanket or a pair ofsocks to a homeless person.It should NOT be about thenumbers.
