On January 15 2022 I participated in my first community service outside of high school at a Habitat Restoration in Olivia Canyon. In 2022 I really want to focus on personal growth and volunteer work is one way to increase different life skills. Working on habitat restoration was fun and reminded me of my childhood memories of working in my home\u2019s lawn. I used to always pull out weeds with my hands, but at Olivia Canyon I used a Stirrup hoe for the first time. I learned how invasive species of plants can prevent native species of plants from growing in our communities. Participating in this community service provided me with a different opportunity for me to learn and give back to the local habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Canyon Habitat Restoration Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During my last two years of High School I participated in about 150 hours of Creativity, activity, service (CAS) experiences. CAS is one of the elements needed to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. Think of CAS as a more loose version of community service for high school students. Anything that has a learning benefit can be considered as a CAS experience. This included experience such as: Sports, Internships, jobs, and volunteer work. Each activity also needed a project that explained some of the lessons learned while working. Here<\/a> are some of my old CAS projects This might explain my inspiration to write about my most recent experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 2 years of hard work I was able to graduate high school in 2013 under the IB program, but little did I know that I would not serve my community again until 2022. Community Service has many benefits for not only the community but also for myself. They say \u201cnothing in life is free\u201d but community service helps make changes in our neighborhoods from free work. One can also argue that the work pays the individual through life experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am trying to find ways to gain skills and life lessons from my community service. One goal I have set myself for 2022 is to keep finding ways to better myself. Community service will provide new experiences for me to grow. If I had not signed up for the Olivia Canyon Habitat Restoration, I probably would have spent my Saturday morning sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
