Helping Others

I have had the opportunity to serve others in my community through different organizations. My volunteer work includes teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to young children, being a Youth Group Counselor, and being a Girl Scout Leader for several years. Volunteer work taught me so much about children. I learned how to help children of different ages in many ways, and it made me a better person for having so many experiences with young people. I would recommend that children grow up learning how to help others, and then the world would become a better place.

Both of my children are currently volunteering in our community. My son joined the volunteer fire department, and he is very active in our town. My daughter volunteers at a local hospital every week. By helping others, they have learned so much and grown in character. I am very happy that I was able to instill in them the importance of helping others.

Our president encourages everyone in our country to volunteer. Wouldn't that be wonderful if we could all learn how to help people and get along. This book is a great example of how one person can make a difference in the world. I hope the message of the benefits of helping others spreads like wild fire!
