Service Hours

One positive for having service hours is that it is rewarding because you don't get paid for doing the hours. Plus it rewards you with emotional and also spiritual rather financial.  It gives you the chance to help out with people and also get to make new friends while doing it. According to the non-profit Botanic Garden Conservation International the opportunity to give back to society and feel useful, to fill in a gap in your personal life and intellectual stimulation and growth. (Botanic Gardens Conservation International, bgci.org, 2019). Since having service hours is rewarding towards some people, it can also help other people that want to meet new people or even help out with society.

On the other hand, there are a few negatives for having service hours because it can be time-consuming for some people. According to James, Roland states that having the time commitment to the service hours, it can lead to having problems like having to schedule problems for it because you would spend more time doing the service hours and not having enough time for school, work and family. ( James Roland, livestrong.com,2019). While having trouble with the time commitment you can make it clear to the organizers about how much time you could devote to the service hours.

My position is that we should have service hours because you are giving back to society, and helping out. Since you can qualify for getting a scholarship for the service hours that you want to do is a good idea because then the scholarships that you are getting from the service hours can help you find a college that you want to go to.
