Last year, I joined a group to help the neighbors throw out their rubbish. Every morning, I needed to get up very early, and collect the rubbish from door to door. At first, I found it hard to get up early. It was very tiring, but I did it for two weeks. In the end, I got a thank-you letter from the neighbors. At that time, I felt proud of myself.
