High
school
 is not just preparation for college. In fact, many students leave high
school
 with no intention of going to college. Some join the military and others already have job prospects to pursue. While preparing you for the future, high
school
 is where you learn exactly what it means to be a good citizen. A major component of being a good citizen is interaction with your
community
. One of the most common ways of involving young adults in
community
 activities is through
volunteerism
. In order to truly complete the education, public
school
 system promises, high
school
 students should spend time volunteering in their
community
. People who volunteer at an age where social interaction is essential, high
school
, will carry
this
 message with them through life. The life lesson of
service
 has been just as important in "the real world" our teenagers, so often hear about as that "A" on our
last
 calculus exam. Doing
community
service
 a requirement ensures students will at least spend the minimum time volunteering in their
community
. If at least a
third
 of these students are able to grasp the importance of
community
service
,
then
 they can take that skill and apply it not only in their professional lives but
also
 to the general well being of their communities. If these same students use the lessons they learned from volunteering, they could solve many of today's economic and social problems. By requiring students to do
community
service
 in high
school
, we are not only ensuring good and informed citizens, but
also
 a better economic and social climate.
