Community Service Valdosta State University Sara Moye

I did most of the community service with my cheerleading squad

On January the 17 th and 19 th 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!

VSU Cheerleading Clinic The blazer cheerleaders had a clinic to teach children the basic fundamentals of cheerleading. Here we are playing “duck, duck, goose”.

VSU Cheerleading Clinic 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.

Arbor Day Planting Trees with Interact Club. One more tree equals 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!
