My feelings of being a member of Nanjing Community Volunteer

I have been a member of Nanjing Community Volunteer since 2008.I keep doing the community voluntary work each Saturday.I mainly teach the boy called Ji Nian in poverty who appears in these photos English but also help the old woman Ms.Zhang to read the newspapers,send e-mails to her children who work in the U.S.A and so on.

From this voluntary experience,I have learned a lot. From our organization,I find everyone is fond of this work and willing to help others as much as possible. It moves me and makes me do like them. For example,the little boy doesn't understand what I am teaching,I won't be impatient and I will teach two times,three times in slow speed until he understands.For another,Ms.Zhang doesn't have a good hearing so I read newpapers to her loudly every time and sometimes it even makes me throat hoarse but I don't care.Oppositely,I feel happy that I can use my own strength to help the elderly in need.I think, the change is a gift that our organization gives each of us.

I also find something new about my latent ability during and after this process.Firstly,it seems that I am suitable to be a teacher when I grow up because the words which are said by the boy.He tells that he feels bored about English before my teaching but he find English is not so boing as before now after having my lessons these days.To my surprise,he is truly willing to have my lessons and even ask me to teach more, I am really happy to tell you that his points has improved over ten points in this mid-term exam after my teaching for a while.Both myself and his parents feel happy about this result.I also find that my ability of communicating with others has improved because I need to chat with Ms.Zhang for a while every time so that I can know that what are her problems and give her my best advice.Because of this experience,I start to care more about others day by day.My mother even once tells me that I am more easy-going than before and our relationship is closer.I haved discovered more advantages about myself by this experience and I deeply feel that'Helping others is helping yourself'.I am getting to like this voluntary work when the time passes and I feel I am active every day both my heart and spirit.

More and more people ask me that how can I do my voluntary work well or do I have any skills to share with them?If I really have the skills,all that is just one rule-true heart. The little boy lives in poverty and the grandmother Ms.Zhang lives alone so both of them need to take more care of than others.Both of them believe in me so I also trade them with my true heart in the same way as well.I teach the little boy English attentively and patiently and truly expect that his points will be improved through our common effort. I really want to help the old woman -Ms.Zhang , so I listen to her requirements carefully and try my best to do them well.Because of this,I serve over the limited time from time to time and I have no feeling about time passing when I put all my bady and mind in them so I even feel surprised when I know I have done forty-eight hours voluntary work until now totally.

In conclusion,my voluntary work are on each Saturday.At 8:30-10:00,I teach the little boy English.At 10:30-11:30,I read newapapers and letters to Ms.Zhang and then send e-mails to her children in America for her.This experience helps me to get along with the people around me.To the community,the benefit is just to help two more people.But to myself,I have changed my lifestyle.I have become more active to face the life and live more happily than ever before.
