Happiness Comes From Serving People

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.

As a fanatic of serving others, I have been a volunteer for over 10 years already. I enjoy serving other people as I am fond of watching those I served showing broad smiles to me.

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.

During secondary school time, I served others by participating in services organized by various community service organizations, like UNICEF. These are all incredible experience. However, these are not the most enjoyable parts of my life as a volunteer.

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.

When I got into University, even though my study is posing great pressure on me, I never say no to be a volunteer and to organize service programmes as when those I served smile to me, it is actually a very joyful thing. Some of them even send me e-cards during festivals! These all soothe my study pressure.

Even after my university life, I wish I could serve others by providing service using my knowledge. I want to assist charitable organizations by giving them free administrative service so that they can save more money for serving more people.

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!
