             I volunteered with my club members last Friday. The second semester starts and I joined the volunteer service club of universities. I was very nervous and much anxiety because this is my first time going to volunteer work after joins a club. On the one hand, I was expected to different volunteer work from I have ever done. I have done volunteer service that go to community welfare service once a week and do the cooking helping mentally disable children during the last semester and now. So joined the volunteer service club that helping live alone the old becasue I want to volunteer other filed. Hence, I first visited old man who living alone last Friday. There was awkwardness at first but experienced club people relived my anxiety and tention by talking, “It will be good help in old man just by listening to old man’s story.” That takes a big load off my mind. When we visited a home for an aged about 2 o’clock, an old man was waiting in one small room. He lost his leg in a car accident. He glad to see us and told us all that he had been.  We spent an hour or so with him then. It’s really not that hard to understand and I think I had a good job.

Helping others can give helpers themselves deep satisfaction. Now most students participate in volunteer work for poor people or for their community. The experience of helping others or working for a neighborhood would give students great pride. Therefore, I think students should join in the volunteer work more actively.
