ARGUMENT ESSAY
Some
people believe that unpaid community service should be compulsory part of high
school programs (for example working for charity, improving the neighborhood or
teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Few people argue that voluntary work
should be made part of the school curriculum; however, there are many others
who are against this suggestion. Personally, I believe that unpaid community
service is very beneficial for the students in order to help develop people
skills. Also, community service is highly valued by both employers and
universities, which can have practical implications for students in terms of professional
and educational growth.
Education should not be confined strictly
to academic pursuits. It is crucial for students to develop life skills like
self-discipline, teamwork and empathy and a very efficient way to perfect these
aptitudes is by getting involved in community service. Serving people who are less
privileged than us is noble; it not only provides us an opportunity to interact
and work with people from various backgrounds, but also infuses in us the
importance of hard work. In addition, many organizations and colleges are
looking for experiences in extra-curricular activities and although it is not
mandatory for the students to have these experiences, this could clearly give
them more leverage over others who are applying to these very organizations or
colleges.
On the contrary, there are people who
feel that high school is a place where students should only focus on their
studies. These people argue that high school’s charge a high tuition fee and should
concentrate strictly on academics and nothing else.
In conclusion, high school students
should be made to involve in unpaid community service as this will help the
students learn things that they wouldn’t normally learn in a high school
environment. Provided that these unpaid programs can be made an obligation in
high school, the students are likely to enhance their probability of getting
into a good university and also gain an edge when considered for a job.
