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.
