Did you ever find yourself feeling a bit lost? You need to talk about why people volunteer! Often when people look for a new life goal, they need something to give themselves one purpose, so there’s no better way than volunteering. First, volunteering is good for your future job. Your experience of being a volunteer gives the interviewer a clearer picture of who you are. Volunteering experience is an important reason for finding a job. Second, being a volunteer can set a good example to others. By volunteering, you inspire others to make good changes. Serving food at a food bank and working with teenagers in an after-school activity are also great examples to make others love volunteering. Third, meeting people who have similar interests and ideas becomes easy. The way someone chooses to spend his or her free time shows the person’s values. Sharing the same values while helping others is a great way to make new friends. By volunteering, you will have more friends in a short time. Last but not least, “doing good” is important. Every day we may watch or hear sad news and stories. However, volunteering is a good way to make the world a better place. Even a simple thing can play a role. If we all join together, those simple things can add up to a big change! Volunteering is never difficult. There is always a group for you. Just find the right group to join! ( ) 31.

Rachel and her mother Vicky Robinson noticed that people always looked sad these years. “So what can we do to put a smile on people’s faces?” Rachel thought. As she often helps her father in the garden, Rachel is good at making plants grow. Looking at her flowers in the garden, she came up with the idea for a plant stand. “Gardening is a natural way to help people relax,” Rachel said. With the help of her mother, Rachel built a tall stand and painted and drew pictures on it. They put many kinds of plants on it. The stand invited people with the words, “Need a plant? Take a plant. Have a plant? Leave a plant. ” People could come to take a plant home or leave a plant for people in need. The stand has now become a war m space for people in the community to meet and talk. 36.
