I agree with the idea of Martin Luther King Jr. day being a work day. I don't mean work as in homework or schoolwork. I mean work as in helping the community in any way possible. I used to always help my mom on MLK day with projects like painting classrooms or planting gardens. I loved going to help even though I didn't really know the purpose of it. Since then my family has become a lot busier and we started to do less over the years on this holiday.
This year, I got excited that there would be possibilities to help on MLK day that the school has provided. I immediately knew that I wanted to help with one of these activities. Not only does this help the community but students actually get service hours for completing this work. My friends and I are going to help plant trees this weekend and beautify the city. I'm glad that the school has given us this chance to really help in our community and give back, especially on this important holiday.
I agree with you that MLK day should be a day on instead of a day off. Helping with planting trees sounds like a great way to help!
