Funny club





















First of all I loved this club! The club named volunteer club, I even did not know what the mean of volunteer was before I join this club, because classmate asked me to join it.
Now I still remember the first activity of the volunteer club. It was a sunny morning; a kind boy who was the director took us to a blind school! The bus took us about 40 minutes! I did not know the reasons of this activity, I thought a blind school, and some blind kids had no value to let us spend so much time. However, some hours later, I knew why.
When I arrived at the blind school, I saw some of students were playing basketball! Can they? Of course they can! They never give up, they also have their dream, and some boys even said they want to join NBA! If someone told me this, I would laugh and said it was a joke, but if you heard these words from some blind boys you did not laugh at them but deeply moving.
My mission was took two little boys. The one was grade 3 the other one was grade 5, both of them smiled every time, they wanted know more knowledge about computer, because they had some eyes problems, the even could not see mouse clearly, so they only could use some special computers. I told them what I knew, to my surprised they never asked me about computer games, they just wanted to know how to use computer rightly, and how to do something what simple kids could do! What two good boys, they were also very smart; usually I just need to talk once they could remember, maybe they listened so carefully.
At last we were took picture together, we were all smiled in the picture, but after we took picture, some kids cried, a little girl asked us when would we come back, if we would come back tomorrow morning, have class with them, they loved us. Suddenly every volunteer could say even on word. I knew they need us, but we were only volunteers, we were not their parents, we could play together, but we could not stay forever.
Some weeks later, we went to blind school again, we saw them again, they were very excited, and they talked with big smile. I saw that two lovely boys again, they were also wanted to get knowledge, I also keep my patient; I was very surprised they never said something about their eyes, it seem as they were not blind, they were confident, they always smile. We talked about basketball and NBA, we talked about our study, and I thought we had become good friends.
I love this club, because it took us to do a lot of useful things, it can let us know pay it forward is so interesting. The most important advantage is we were all happy; we like to talk with them, we were happy to answer their questions. I thought they were so quite!

Do sports for health








To be honest, I loved playing sports. I was good at sports. This winter I came back home, I lived with my parents again; I was very relaxed whole day. I loved this style. One day my father asked me to run with him. He looked very excited, I wore the sport suit, and we got up early next day…
About 6 p.m. we went out, my father told he has run since he was 16 years old, he loved this sport, because it could improve stamina as a man we need power, we need stamina, too. We should be, more patient. I thought he was right but…
It was really a long way, about 4000 meters, my father never stopped smile, he ran behind me, but when I was too tired to ran, he also smiled. I stopped to have a break. He said continue with a staunch voice. I did not want to give up. I began to hate running, I loved sport, but I did not love running! I was sure! However I could not be a loser in front of my father, I need energy! Finally I finished my mission, I chased my father asked him how could you did it every day I thought I would die! He told me as a man we should be persisting; we could not give up anytime. Suddenly I got something from his eyes. He had a lot of wishes for me!
Some days later my father asked me to played badminton with him. I was not good at playing badminton, but I like Dan Lin who was a champion. We went to a hotel’s gym played badminton. My father was good at it; I could not believe he was more active than some teenagers. I enjoyed myself that morning, though I was tired. My father told me badminton was a kind of funny sport, because if you were good at it you even need not to move your legs, but you opponent would feel tired. I had the same idea, ever sport have a lot of skills, sometimes they could be winner’s key!My father began to taught me some badminton skills, they were very simple, just clouting the ball or stopping the ball, but my father paid more attention to angle not power. He said angle was more important, it depended on the direction of the ball, power was also important, but if the ball had wrong direction, power would be useless.
I knew, played sports we not only need power, strong body, even confidences etc, we also need skills and special idea; they were more important reasons to win the game. It was what I learnt from my father.
At last I think doing some Physical activities was good for our health, also we could get some idea from the sports, and we could make our life has more energy. So come on everyone, let’s do something useful for ourselves, let’s make a new and energy world. I am confident, I believe we can do it.

Let's do something for others



























This winter vocation was very interesting; I did a lot of good things. When I arrived at my hometown as soon as possible I went to our community club, we had a little homework, so I want do something useful for others; community club was a good stage.
Today was 22th Jan. I got a call from community club, she told me, and our community corridor cleaner was on vocation. However, spring festival was coming soon, did I have some more time to help them clean the corridor. Of course I said YES. Afternoon I went to the community club, the director make me clean the tow buildings, because they have few people. To be honest it is a big problem to me. I was good at sports, so I was energetic, but I hardly ever swept the floor at home, just tow 5-floor-buildings took my 2hours to swept them, I was so tired I even wanted to run 1000 meters.
This was 23th Jan. Student volunteers were organized to go to old folks’ home. I was very happy, it was easier! When we got there, there were some old people were doing morning exercise. We waited them for about 20 minutes, then we went into the house, we talked with them because we thought they were very lonely. I talked with an old man; he liked basketball, just the same as me. He told me he watched every NBA game in CCTV5, he said he was good at basketball when he was young. We talked about the NBA stars, to my surprised he even knew more than me, his favorite team was Lakers he even remembered the main players and the coach’s name! Finally he said he had good time this morning we appointed tomorrow we watched NBA game together! I saw he was very happy, in fact I was happy, too.
After spring festival I had nothing to do again, I went to the community club asked If I can to do something for volunteer, luckily a lot of parents began to work after holiday their small kids had no people to be babysitting. So they took their kids to community club, the community club director asked me to be a babysitting to look after 3 babies. It was not an easy job! They were all about 4~5years old. Two boys and a girls, the girl was good, but the two boys were too naughty they even fight with each others I was so busy this afternoon, about 5 p.m. their parents came here and took them back home, they said thank you to me, still that time I knew to be parents was such a difficult thing!
The volunteer life was very interesting; it almost became a most important in the winter vocation. I thought this vacation this volunteer experience let me discover a lot of things between our lives. For example old people need attentions; parents’ love was greatest. As a word to be a volunteer was not just pays something out, it was also a good chance to look this world clearly.
