Happiness comes from serving others
Are you a volunteer? Do you enjoy being one? I feel very glad that I find the meaning of life and happiness through serving others. I feel that I was born to serve others, I really love to be a volunteer.
I have 10 years experience of being a volunteer. You can call me as a ‘fan’ of serving others as being a volunteer brings me the greatest amount of happiness.
When I was in primary school, one day I followed the teachers to a home for the elderly. This was my first time to serve others. On that day my schoolmates and I helped to hold a Christmas party to the senior, we sang, we danced, we chatted with them and we enjoyed the party with them. It was an incredible ‘first time’!
When I entered secondary school, I have more chances to serve others. I participated in different service programmes organized by various charities. Those times were marvelous. But, they are not the most fab parts in my life of serving others!
During my high school time, as I have gained experience of serving others, I tried to organize service programmes by being project leader. I finally realised that the most enjoyable thing of serving others is to organise service programmes to serve those I hope to serve the most, but not just to participate in projects.
I did not choose to leave my volunteer life even after I became a Uni student. As a University student, life is actually quite hard as I have tonnes of work to do. However, when I am having fun with those I serve, I see their smiles, they make me smile too, and make me feel the love between human beings. All these swept away my work pressure.
Even after my university life, I wish I could serve others by providing service using my knowledge. I want to assist charitable organisations by giving them free administrative service so that they can save more money for serving more people.
I’m loving to serve others! So please don’t hesitate anymore, start being a volunteer and bring happiness to yourself!
