What do you like to do when you have free time? From the title, you know how much I love serving the community. ‘Half of me was born to serve others’, this was the description I have used before when I was asked to deliver a speech about my life as 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.

I was 8 years old when I first had the experience of serving the needy ones. I could still remember how happy the elderly people were when I played the piano and my classmates sang Christmas songs to them. And they told me about they old good memories.

I participated in services organised by different charitable organizations in my secondary school life. For example I helped OXFAM and the World Wide Fund. These are all very great experience. But the greatest fun of serving others is not just to participate in service programmes.

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.

In the future, I hope to serve others by contributing society with my knowledge. I hope to provide free administrative service to charitable organizations to assist them lowering their administrative costs, so that more of their fundings can be utilized to help the needy ones.

Serving others is not just about making others smile, it is also to make yourself feel happy when you feel their joy. String up and be a volunteer TODAY!
