'Service'

When I was in high school, I hated the idea of being required to do 'service' for some of the clubs I was in. Hated it. The reason I hated it is because some activities counted for service, and others did not - who were these teacher's to judge if my service is adequate? Plus, there were hour requirements - who's to say that your 50 hours of service are more meaningful than my 30 minutes?

So it was refreshing to read this article, and have my basic thoughts on it well articulated by someone else.
