Serving People Makes Me Smile
What do you like to do when you have spare time? From the title, you know how much I love serving the community. ‘Half of me was born to serve others’, this was the description I have used before when I was asked to deliver a speech about my life as a volunteer.
As a fanatic of serving others, I have been a volunteer for over 10 years already. I enjoy serving other people as I am fond of watching those I served showing broad smiles to me.
When I was in primary school, one day I followed the teachers to a home for the elderly. This was my first time to serve others. On that day my schoolmates and I helped to hold a Christmas party to the senior, we sang, we danced, we chatted with them and we enjoyed the party with them. It was an incredible ‘first time’!
During secondary school time, I served others by participating in services organized by various community service organizations, like UNICEF. These are all incredible experience. However, these are not the most enjoyable parts of my life as a volunteer.
During my high school time, as I have gained experience of serving others, I tried to organize service programmes by being project leader. I finally realised that the most enjoyable thing of serving others is to organise service programmes to serve those I hope to serve the most, but not just to participate in projects.
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!
Even after my university life, I wish I could serve others by providing service using my knowledge. I want to assist charitable organizations by giving them free administrative service so that they can save more money for serving more people.
I really enjoy to be a volunteer! So what about you? Join us now and make your life more fabulous by helping others!
