Serving others makes me smile

Are you a volunteer? Do you enjoy being one? I feel very glad that I find the meaning of life and happiness through serving others. I feel that I was born to serve others, I really love to be a volunteer.

I have 10 years experience of being a volunteer. You can call me as a ‘fan’ of serving others as being a volunteer brings me the greatest amount of happiness.

The first time I served others, I was 7-yr-old. I visited a home for elderly. I will never forget how happy the elderly people were when my classmates and I made performances and chatted with them. So impressive!

I participated in services organised by different charitable organizations in my secondary school life. For example I helped OXFAM and the World Wide Fund. These are all very great experience. But the greatest fun of serving others is not just to participate in service programmes.

The most interesting part of being a volunteer is to try orgainizing service programmes. When I was promoted to high school, I had the chance to hold service projects. It was from that time onward, I love serving others even more.

University life is very hard to go through as the study is very difficult. But I do not give up my life of serving others as whenever I see those I served smile, I feel that they are happy to be with me and I feel happy to be with them too. They help me understand the meaning of my life and they relieve me from my harsh university life. Sometimes I send them e-cards and they will reply me with e-cards saying that they miss me. How sweet they are!

I will never stop my life of serving others, even after I retire, I would like to go around the world to be a volunteer, to send the message of love, to everywhere, to everyone.

Serving others is not just about making others smile, it is also to make yourself feel happy when you feel their joy. String up and be a volunteer TODAY!
