PSEC entrance essay

A community is a group of people or animals in a certain environment existing together. In a community there are usually leaders, followers, government of some sort, and the concerned citizens who help wherever we can. I believe that I am a follower or a leader. I help where I can and when asked will answer anyone's call for help. I joined a group at church called CORE, where we help the community, give out sodas on hot days with bible verses, read books to learn more about God's character, and help out at youth group and church.
The C in CORE stands for commitment, which i like to put in all parts of my life. We are already required to read a book and we haven't even had our first meeting yet. Because this is something I love I give my heart and soul into it and I hope to put the same amount of effort and commitment into my schoolwork and will share my love of Jesus anywhere I can.
The pressure of the teachers will be nonexistent and I will have to be the one that initiates work in the classroom. This is a lot like my walk with God, which I see as a contribution to my community. Because I love God I strive to love people, and because I strive to love people I will learn as much as I can so that I can help people as much as I can. I want to get to know these people and "get inside of them", find out what they are made of and what they hate and love. This love for people is in my mind the greatest contribution I can make to my community.
If I love people and show them the life of living a relationship with God then I can help them find joy and love unending. If I can share this love with one hurting person I will have done this community the greatest contribution I humanly can. I have improved the life of someone and, whether I know them or not, I love them. I would like to put this same commitment into my schoolwork at PSEC.
