Being a helpful citizen means doing what's right. One thing I would do to be a helpful citizen would be picking up trash on the side of the road in my neighborhood. Recycling paper, plastic and other materials would be another way to help. I also help my friends when they call and ask me what is due for homework assignments. Walking neighbor's dogs when they need to be walked would be a helpful thing to do as well. Being kind to people is a good way to be a helpful citizen too. Finally, respecting my teacher and parents is a way to be a helpful citizen. These are some of the examples that you could do to be a helpful citizen too.

I can start by being a good citizen by picking up trash. When I walk down Main Street I see lots of Dunkin Donuts plastic cups and bags. It makes me really mad when people litter in their own town. I can be a good citizen by picking up the trash on my way by. I can influence people to pick up trash too. I can also be a good citizen by respecting other people with the same respect I give my parents. One other way I can be a good citizen is to help my Grandma and Grandpa. I can help them by weeding their garden and doing chores in the yard.

One way you can be a helpful citizen is to help people such as the elderly in your community by helping them cross the street or doing basic things that they cannot do such as mowing their lawn. You can also be a part of the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts and join in on your troops community service activities and projects. You can also be a leader in your community by running for mayor or any leadership position in your community, or in the nation. Another way to be a helpful citizen is caring for our earth and picking up after yourself, and when possible, after others as well. A simple way to be a good citizen is to simply be respectful to your friends, siblings, teachers, parents, and classmates. You can also be a good citizen by taking part in fundraisers in your community to support a good cause. A simple thing you can do to be a good citizen is recycling your plastic containers, and other recyclable material. One way we can all be great citizens is not being a bully, and always stick up for someone who is being bullied anywhere. These are all great ways to be a good citizen, not only in your community, but in the nation as well.

Did you know that anyone can be a good citizen! You can pick up trash to help the environment, and the plants and the creatures that live in it. Another way you could be a good citizen is teach children that don't know how to read or write. You can also donate to a charity or a pet shelter. When you're old enough you can vote in your community. A great way to be a citizen is to be considerate of the people around you. For example, when a line is forming, don't push or shove to get to the front of the line. This is how to be a good citizen.

It is good for your community and country to be a helpful citizen. There are many ways to be a helpful citizen. One way is to be a volunteer. Perhaps you can coach a Little League team, or be a mentor to someone in need.

Anyone can be a great citizen! To be a great citizen,you can pick up trash that you see along the ground. Another way you could be a good citizen is helping out your neighbors by raking or mowing their lawn.Did you know, you can help by doing community service? You can sign up for it at the library or the town hall. I think an awesome way to be a good citizen is to donate old clothing and shoes to the poor or homeless. Another wonderful way you can help be a good citizen is to help people who need the help. A way you can help people that need it is you can help older people do things they aren't able to do like getting food for themselves or getting them a glass of water. Ten out of twenty people out of the town Durham agree that to be a good citizen you can vote for the governor or president that they think is best to help the town,city, or the country. Those are just a few ways you can be a good citizen.

Being a helpful citizen is very important. One thing to do is after using a can, don't throw it out, recycle it. Another way of being a helpful citizen is using both sides of a paper, it really makes a difference and is not being wasteful. It dosn't hurt to hold the door for someone when coming in or out of a building, and it's not a waste of time either. Also, when your walking don't throw your trash on the ground, just throw it in the closest trash can. Never forget to use all of the five core values, respect, responsibility, courage, and honesty. What you should do is sometimes instead of playing video games you should read a book or even go outside for a change. Participating in after school activities, like healthy sports is also something that is good to do. These are some of the reasons of what I think a helpful citizen should do.

There are many ways to be a good citizen. You can join the school food drive that helps the people who cannot afford a good dinner every night. It is really fun going door to door collecting cans of food with my friends, for those in need. The Boy Scouts help to serve a community dinner every year. I was able to help and enjoyed helping and getting the community together. Another way is to help the elderly. You can go in to a nursing home and socialize with many of the patients there. These are just some of the ways to be a helpul citizen.

A good citizen would help people pick up trash,or walk someone else's dog for them or help a Grammy or Grandpa cross the street. Another good thing to do is help rake leaves,or help paint rooms or houses. Another good thing to do is help wash their dogs or cats or any other animal. A final good thing to do is baby-sit babies or children or even kids when parents are somewhere like at work or out to dinner and also you could donate toys to kids who don't have any, or clothes to people who only wear one pair of clothes everyday. As you can see being a helpful citizen is not about sitting around watching TV or playing video games it's about helping people in need or need help, that's what being a helpful citizen is about.

I think to be a good citizen you should keep your neighborhood clean. I help my Dad bring trash to the dump weekly. My elderly neighbor had hip surgery, so I bring her trash too. We also recycle paper, plastics, bottles and cans. Sometimes when I go for hikes or ride my bike around I pick up the junk and things that can be recycled. Part of keeping the neighborhood clean is to plant trees and plants. Trees and plants look good, but they also make the air cleaner and better to breathe. I hope that by keeping my neighborhood clean and growing plants will help to keep us all happy and healthy.

You can be a good citizen by using the three R's, reduce, reuse, and recycle. Another thing you could do is to donate money, clothes, and items you no longer need. You can volunteer for a cause, or pick up trash around your town. A fourth thing you could do is to help friends and family with problems that they may have. You could also help by doing community service in your town. A fine way to start a community food drive is to advertise in your local paper or make signs and post them around town. You could also help an elderly neighbor around their property by mowing their lawn, water their flowers, and clean their furniture. These are some examples of how to be a good citizen.
