志愿者之旅(12月28日爱心故事)
I have been dreaming of the volunteer’s pear and sincerely pay without asking for reward;
I have been admiring the volunteer’s abilities of communication and organization;
I have been wishing I can lead the collective life with the friends who share the same interest with each other ……
This was energy full filled summer holiday. I could finally become a volunteer after the university entrance examination. Although I was not excellent enough, I did engage myself in this group of volunteers.
(一)First experiencing
I was not a person who had good interpersonal skills. I chose to keep silence when facing the strangers all the time. Therefore, even in the self-introduction part of the first training lesson, I felt nerves as well. Fortunately, I joined them quickly through the games.
Out of my expectation, among many new volunteers, there were many students, the youths in the society, and quite a few of earnest people in their middle age. In my opinion, when we start the work, plenty of experience is their advantage while the ability of study, enervative, creative are our strengths.
Stimulations of how to organize activities for the children intelligence problems was the most important part in the training. I knew that it‘s not easy to be an excellent volunteer. However deliberate our plans were, we couldn’t deal with the discipline well. Perfect designs and patient guidance were useless to the naughty children. Volunteers must own the essential abilities of decision-making, organizing, communicating, cooperating instead of just the passion; We should keep different attitudes and varies communicate skills as well. That’s exactly what I was lack of.
(二) Set out
My first task of volunteering was teaching in summer. The children received our education are from the community’s families with low income. They are come from the primary school to the high school. When I opened the door of the classroom, what came to my first sight was a busy scene: one or two elder siblings took care of one child. Some were tutoring their homework, some were talking about the studying experience, and some were talking about the senses of being a good man. I started to talk with a girl who was going to be the senior student. We talked about the life I led in that year, recalling my sadness and happiness. I didn’t help her with her lessons, but I hoped my experience would benefit her a little bit.
A half month after that, I began to communicate with kids in different ages, had the English curricular classes together, and required them to finish the summer vocation’s homework. I admired the volunteers who could get well along with them, and tutor them during games; The English teachers had deliberately designed many activities so that the kids could acquire some knowledge.
It’s no denying that there were many problems needed to be solved. For instant, we needed to be more considerate in planning; the serving objects are easily affected by others. And the responsibilities between volunteers were unclear.
However, I had set out in my way. I would keep going on no matter the way was tough or not.
As the wisdom had ever sad: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. It can’t be more suitable than describing the families with low income.
We were divided into four groups. Four groups were well prepared to set out. We put on our volunteer’s cards, felt a little bit nervous and responsible. Most of the families we had visited were living in the houses which were small, old, dull and wretched. The bad living circumstance they lived in the bad living circumstance and they suffered the heavy commercial burden. Some of them suffered great burden because they had to feed two children; some had to pay the extremely high check for the medical care; some are living in the bad circumstance which affects their children to grow up.
Having experiencing this home visits, besides sympathy and solicitude, I learned to content with what I have and be thankful to what others give to me, furthermore, I learned how to face the fierceness with bravery and how to overcome the difficulties with perseverance in my life.
(三)Expectation
I also attend the older serving group, I knew that communicate with elders needs much more patience and skills. I am sincerely hoped that we would become the bonds to them. I would be contending if I could bring some happiness into their lives.
I was on my way of volunteering, and expecting more memorable scenes along it.
