I feel lucky, and I often spend year after year with the help of others. When I was a freshman, I heard that "students who want to volunteer in the library should register." At that time, I signed up without hesitation, and I was proud of being a volunteer. At that time, I had an idea, and I insisted on it until I graduated from senior three. I don't know myself whether that firmness is due to gratitude for other people's gifts, curiosity about volunteer life, or maybe I don't want to bury myself in my desk all the time.
To be honest, I think it is a very happy thing to be a volunteer. Until now, I feel very proud. I volunteered in the library for three years in high school. Compared with volunteers who have been engaged in charity for a long time, my experience as a volunteer is not worth mentioning. But this experience is my most regretful persistence and I have gained a lot.
For three years, I participated in the recruitment of volunteers for two years at various opportunities. Every time I recruit a new student, someone asks me, "What are the benefits of being a volunteer?" Faced with such a problem, I can only answer in a businesslike manner: "There is no direct material benefit, but I can experience volunteer life, help teachers and students who read books, and record social practice." There are also familiar friends who watch me volunteer in the library reading room every weekend. They will ask me, "What benefits did you get from volunteering, so you wasted your time?" I still replied: "Nothing good, I am not great, I just want to be a volunteer, that's all." Every time I answer, I think, "Why must we do it with benefits? If we all go for the benefit, why should we call it a volunteer? "
What "benefits" did I get?
If you just say "help classmates", you will probably think this answer is too hypocritical and unrealistic. I really enjoy the process of sorting out magazines in the library. Sorting out magazines is like helping lost children find their way home. When I put down every magazine, I not only announced the end of today's work, but also drew a satisfactory full stop for my work. This process is very challenging. I have met all kinds of students, and maintaining the order of the reading room is a process of communicating with others. At this time, every word, every expression and every tone I say will have a key impact on this communication. In this process, I learned to respect others, learn to smile, and learn to use different communication skills when facing different people.
Aren't these training opportunities for "student work"? When I was in high school, I also served as the head of the school department or community. It is this volunteer who looks silly to outsiders who has learned the most. My experience tells me that it is not only "student cadres" who can improve their abilities. As long as you love something, you should do it, and you can only do it well if you are enthusiastic. Volunteers have great enthusiasm and can do it well.
As an old volunteer, I sent away a group of old people and welcomed a group of new people. Among the volunteers I met, many people simply like this volunteer job, and it is a very happy thing to have a group of like-minded people stick to it. I will find a steady stream of life motivation and hope. Occasionally chatting with volunteer classmates, I found that I answered the sentence: "interesting souls will always meet." Actually, I really want to thank my teachers and volunteer friends here. What the teachers taught me was the persistence of my duties and the enthusiasm of volunteers. Volunteer friends have moved me more. I hung out with a group of young volunteers in my senior year. They take good care of me, always help me coordinate my duty time, and always worry that I will affect my study. On duty for the last time, a volunteer friend said to me, "Senior, I really admire you as a volunteer now. Come on for the college entrance examination ~ "I am very happy and moved to hear this sentence. In fact, every volunteer friend is worthy of admiration, because they are sticking to their original intentions.
The most important thing is to learn to persist, whether it is to exercise your ability or to make like-minded friends. At first, I may be curious and fresh, full of passion and fighting spirit. Gradually, you will find that volunteer work will be boring. Sometimes, there is a lot of homework, and the exam is approaching. I really want to leave my post, or I can quit the volunteer team halfway. But when I thought that I was a volunteer, I resolutely assumed the responsibility on my shoulders. In this way, I had the idea of giving up several times, and finally I persisted. So, I learned to arrange my time more reasonably. Although it takes up a certain amount of extracurricular time, there is no contradiction between volunteering and learning. Reasonable arrangement of study time will not have much influence on your grades. And you can read more magazines and books on duty to increase your knowledge.
When I was a freshman, I wanted to join a non-profit organization. A senior asked me, "Have you ever had volunteer experience before?" I said without thinking, "I volunteered in the library for three years in high school." Until now, I will often participate in some volunteer public welfare activities. When interviewing volunteers, I will say, "Volunteers are not nouns, but verbs, which need our practical actions. I have been volunteering in the library for three years in high school. I don't think I'm great, but I enjoy the process. If someone gets a little convenience because of my help, the curvature of my mouth is what I look forward to most. "
We shouted the slogan countless times: "Come on, college entrance examination, no regrets in youth!" "
Is it necessary to refuse to volunteer under the pressure of college entrance examination? Of course not. The persistence I learned in my volunteer life supported me through the darkest period. Even sometimes, I regard volunteering as a way to relax. A few months before the college entrance examination, everyone was trying to write. I saw a girl hanging a bottle in her left hand and brushing questions in her right hand in the infirmary, and I was very distressed by her. During that time, I will still be on duty in the library. Because when I am on duty, I can take myself out of the sea and bathe in the sun for a while without thinking about my scores. Because the brain always has to rest, so the combination of work and rest is not just to comfort others. This process is enjoyable, and it will be more efficient to hold the book again.
I am very happy. Now I have experienced that kind of volunteer life. Volunteer job interviews will first affirm their own experiences, and what I expect most is that my love for life and enthusiasm for persistence have never subsided. They all say "live the life you like." Well, I like volunteers. I am glad that I learned persistence and that heartfelt enthusiasm during my three years in high school.
Volunteers have no glamorous titles and no direct material rewards, but their perseverance and perseverance will be used for life, and the exercise they get in volunteer life will also be a valuable asset of my youth. My high school has youthful vitality and sunshine, as well as the enthusiasm and persistence of volunteers. Such a high school, such a youth, no regrets.
