Service…

1. If you show people that doing community service, or any service at all isn’t bad it will be contagious to them. Helping others out of the kindness of your heart shows people you care. Putting others in front of yourself is good, being an example of a leader to others can be very inspirational. It may open their eyes and it just may be that little boost they need to go help someone!

2. When I see others helping someone it sparks a little something inside me. It makes me want to get up and do something that much more! Seeing how it affects other people and their gratefulness is sometimes all a person needs get involved. 

3. No matter how big or small you contribute to service, it counts. You may not even think your helping, but you are! A little good deed may mean the world to the person receiving it. There are many different way you can volunteer and do service. Being involved in activities help with community service. For me, I am involved in FFA, FCCLA, and CCD. These are some of the groups I do community service with. We collect food for food pantry’s, clean ditches, collect pop – tabs, have teacher appreciation breakfasts, and read to the younger students. These are just some examples of service we do. 

4. If someone complains about doing service, it does not make me completely hate them! I feel that if they do not want to be there, or are not doing service for the right reason they should not be there. 

Corn Belt Update

The current event I choose this week was an update on how the harvest is going in the Corn Best. Harvest is wrapping up around much of the Corn Belt – but some are still struggling to finish.Zach Hunnicutt farms in central Nebraska.  “We’re still about six days out from being done with harvest,” he says.  “We got an inch of rain on Monday or Tuesday that’s going to keep us out for a little bit.  We were pretty well saturated anyway and it’s been getting cold and wet and it’s not going to dry out any time soon.” The  reason I chose this was that we have been kind of been having the same problem here in South Dakota. When a little amount of snow came, just enough to delay from continue on with harvesting. But all farmers are slowly but surely getting there crops harvested. There is noting in our control to make things go faster or in our favor for that matter. Why this is a problem is because if the famers don’t get their crop out of the field and we get a lot of snow and it may stay, could even be a more disaster with the crops being overly wet and they will not get little to no profit.
