I am also motivated to serve because it is one of the commandments “to love thy neighbor as thyself”, I want to keep the commandments so that is also what motivates me to serve. …show more content…

D&C 34:3 it teaches that Christ loved the world so he gave his life, this was the greatest act of service and it was done because of

Service to me means, giving your all to you school and community without expecting anything in return. At a young age, I participated in many fundraising events with my dance team where we provided a service to others such as annual car washes, waiting tables at various restaurants, and organizing dances and activities for kids. In Junior High I was a key club member and we volunteered for concession stand duties, helped out at elementary basketball tournaments, and acted as line judges or referees at volleyball tournaments. Since my mom is a first grade teacher, I spent many summers setting up and organizing her classroom, and on my days off from school, I provided kids in my mom’s classroom with help in reading or math. As a part of Earth Week at our school, I did various jobs for people in my community.

People hide behind others and are not strong enough to be truthful. In addition, an important part of humility is knowing our own limits, our “strengths and weaknesses, morally or otherwise we are just regular individuals with no good purpose” (Meyer). An example of reminding strong but humble is my grandma although she may be old but she has a tough character, people see her as a normal old lady but that’s not the case as several people tried to take her kindness for granted or even take advantage of her. Consequently, majority of people assume if they are humble people will take advantage of their kindness but we must understand they are the one whom to be effected not them.
