"In one of my courses in college, we were tasked with planning a community service project for the area in which our campus was located. We didn't actually have to carry out the project; we just had to provide detailed plans to prove that we could. There were only a few objectives; it had to meet the needs of community members, and we had to come up with a course of action to raise money, create a budget, and spread awareness. My group and I decided to provide a weekly brown bag lunch to disadvantaged people living in the area. We settled on handing out flyers and putting up posters, raising money through the local church, and setting up a tent and tables in the same spot each week. My group and I were so passionate about this project that we actually did carry it out for several weeks throughout the semester. We ended up meeting some very nice people and learned a lot in the process. I am really proud of the work I did to make our plan become a reality and help the community."
