community service

I just realized I have to turn in my community service sheet for next year. Sadly, I don't have a car, so my options of community serivce projects are somewhat limited. I'm not sure what I want to sign up for yet. There are just so many options to choose from, and they all sound good. I like old people and kids so I guess I don't really mind what to do. Right now I'm thinking of the Adult care at Central Union, the Nursery Care at Central Union, Shriners, ESL, Headstart Preschool, and Palama Settlement. I think there are other I want to choose from, but I'm not too sure yet. I'm pretty sure I want the Palama Settlement to be my first choice because I would enjoy teaching kids sports. I like coaching gymnastics, but the only thing is, is that I'm not very good at the 'normal' sports that were listed on the sheet, such as basketball, baseball, and volleyball. I chose the community service projects that were at Central Union because I could just walk there, and I am somewhat familiar with the campus since I attended Central Union when I was in preschool. I remember loving the teachers, and all of the fun activities we could do, so I think I would enjoy working there. I know I enjoyed that preschool when I was only 5 years old, but I think I would still love it because of all the nice teachers and cute kids. I'm thinking of Shriners because it seems like a very different experience, for I have never helped disadvantaged kids before. In addition to that, this location is also very convenient. I'm thinking of ESL because I think that it would be a good way of practicing my Japanese skills, while being able to interact with kids at the same time. I don't know what to chose, but I think I should decide soon because the paper is due in an hour...
