  For my service project I will be helping the problem of work pollution. I plan on going out into the community or country and picking up garbage and cans. I picked this topic because it seems that wherever I go, there is some sort of trash laying around all because someone was just too lazy to throw their trash away. It gets pretty annoying after a while because there have been many times that I have been out ice fishing and people have left their garbage out on the ice. Eventually that ice is going to melt and what happens to the trash, it ends up in the water. It's especially not good for the lake that it's getting into, but the people that live around the lake and those that swim or boat don’t appreciate it one bit. That's just one of the reasons it makes me want to help clean some areas up.       Something that I learned from doing this service project is that there's more trash out on gravel roads and around the area than I thought. I thought that people wo...

  My issue for this project was to attend to the mental and physical needs of my residents of the nursing home that I work in . My plan was to do activities with them because some of the residents don’t get to enjoy certain things and or don’t get to see the family when they need to. I learned a lot about doing this project but the biggest thing that I learned was that there are so many ways to do different service projects. The project that I chose was to go into the nursing home and to spend time with the residents. I learned that I can make an impact in someone's life in a super simple way.

There are certain laws aga...

       I learned that doing things the way I do them is very efficient and the best way to do things. I learned how to do many things like how to rake and how to put things into a pile and also how to light things on fire. I also learned that you need to watch the fire most of the time to make sure it doesn't spread to anything else . I learned how to rake things into a pile and how to put airflow into a fire to make it burn faster and hotter so you do not waste a lot of time burning. My results were very good because everything burned how it should have and it worked out good for everybody. I also learned that it is very effective to light fires in an open space and not in a confined space to where the fire can spread and potentially harm other people or building because that would not be good if that happened.
