My favorite uniform part is my bomber. The reason my bomber is my favorite uniform part is because it wasn’t just giving to my I had to earn it. The way I earned it was by being committed to 10 months of service and waking up with a positive out look on life every day.
Also the bomber represents more than a jacket with a City Year logo on it. The bomber to me means so much, like being a positive role model, being humble and not being self-centered. When looking at my bomber, sometimes I think about the effects I have on the community and the people in the community I serve in. It makes my feel great to know I’m doing something positive with the one life I have and puts my heart at peace when knowing I am doing good deeds.
Last of all, the bomber makes my family proud especially my Ummi. Ummi is the Arabic way to say mother and she smiles every time she sees me in my bright red City Year jacket. It feels like my bomber is a jacket of good deeds and that puts my life in a peaceful state. And this is why my bomber is my favorite uniform part because it’s more than a jacket. It’s my service.
