helping an elderly man

by RB

It was a Sunday morning I'm with my dad all week end. Our neighborhood is kind of like 60 yrs old. I didn't know my dad was cutting our neighbors grass,since my dad knows Spanish. Well I woke up at 7am that's that's a lie I really woke up at10am Well when I woke u[ I was helping my dad cut the grass, he was cutting it and I was cutting it and I was picking it up. I think my dad offered to cut the grass, he use top work as a gardener in some apartments he still has the equipment. I think my dad was cutting it from at least 8am it is a really big back yard. We finished like at 12 or 12:30 am. I really felt great first time I saw his smile. Maybe because every time I see him is to ask him if we can have our ball. So I ended up doing 2hrs of community service. Why couldn't the yard be bigger so I could of done my 3 hrs.

community service reflection

For my charity I chose to crochet blankets for children. I chose this charity because I was helping a child stay warm for the holidays. And if the blanket was done in time the child would have useful Christmas gift. I enjoyed making the blanket and knowing that it was for a good cause it made me feel better. Know I can help the sick kids at the hospitals who don't have anything to keep them warm. I also hope that the blanket I make goes to some one who really needs it, not because she/he wants it.
