What did you honestly expect? Teenagers never think about anyone but themselves, selfie generation ring any bells? They never give to the community, only take. Thirty hours of hard work, but you're right. I did give, but not as much as I took. I gave my free time, but I took moments to cherish. I gave my hard work, but I took countless warm smiles and thank yous. Gave my energy, my devotion, and took an experience that will stay with me for many years to come. So, you are correct, nay-sayer of youth, I am part of the "selfie generation"- that is true. I do think about myself, and I do take from my community. Even though I did give, I agree with you, because everything I gave to the community, the community gave back to me, and for that, I am grateful.
