My winter vacation
i always believe that, as a college student, we are expected to make full use of the winter vacation。 it is a good time to participate in social activities。 therefore, i made up my mind to get involved in voluntary work and devote myself to community service。
originally, i was arranged to visit the home for the elderly in our community with others。 since it’s the first time for me to take good care of the strangers, i prepared a lot in advance。 then, i started my brand-new experience。
upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the elderly who were sitting in the yard and bathed in the sunlight。 with pleasure, we chatted quite a few fresh stories happened in our young life and many unforgettable experience in their past time。 i deeply realized that, one day, i would become one of them with sparse hair and deep wrinkles。 at that time, i wouldn’t depend on myself totally and i might long for others’ care to some extent。 when i have to be confronted with the fact which will inevitable happen in the future, i would like to spare some time to take care of the elderly to make contributions to myself and society at present 。
when it was time for us to leave, they said, it was a rather nice day and thanked for our kindness。 as for me, i obtained a lot about this great experience。 “thank you for your lesson。”
