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.
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.
I was 8 years old when I first had the experience of serving the needy ones. I could still remember how happy the elderly people were when I played the piano and my classmates sang Christmas songs to them. And they told me about they old good memories.
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.
Starting from high school time, as a quite experienced volunteer, I have the chance to taste organizing service programmes myself as Project Chairperson, from that time onward, I found that the true happiness of serving others, is not just to participate, but to participate in organizing service programmes to serve the needy ones.
When I got into University, even though my study is posing great pressure on me, I never say no to be a volunteer and to organise service programmes as when those I served smile to me, it is actually a very joyful thing. Some of them even send me e-cards during festivals! These all soothe my study pressure.
In the future, I hope to serve others by contributing society with my knowledge. I hope to provide free administrative service to charitable organizations to assist them lowering their administrative costs, so that more of their fundings can be utilized to help the needy ones.
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!
