11. Community Service The community service I want to help with is, volunteering at a Special Olympics event. I did this mainly because my brother is a special needs recipient and when he participated in the Special Olympics Organization, I loved helping him and cheering him on. I enjoy all the sports that the children (and adults) participate in. The sports they play are just like the sports that me and you play. Since I have so much experience with this sort of thing, I think I would do a good job with the Special Olympics Program.
