Making a Difference

I go to a private Catholic school，which is very big on community service(社区服务)．You are actually looked down upon if you do not do some form of community service．Being a first-year student，I was _____ enough that I would not fit in，so I started looking at the different possibilities．Finally I decided to work as a volunteer at our local hospital，something my friend was already doing.

When I started I felt very _____．I had heard the good and the bad sides of the hospital: staff and patients yelling at us，not doing the job well enough for this person，or not getting a wheelchair fast enough．But the good side of my new job was yet to come．My friend could only help me so much with training．Soon I was on my own．Many of my other friends asked me why I was doing a job for which I was not being paid．At first I could not answer the question but now I can．Every Monday I walk into the hospital not knowing what to _____．But now I look at my job with a different attitude．I no longer see it as a _____ to society，but as a way to try to help brighten someone’s day，and help make things run more smoothly．Delivering flowers，medicine，papers，or just saying hi to a patient，especially the very young or the very old，makes a difference in their day.

They now _____ me，and say hi．They tell me about their day and ask about mine.

Once home，I know I have helped and made a difference.

My job has its ups and downs．I’ve had my share of angry doctors and nurses．But I have had more smiling patients and little kids _____ my day．I have seen sides of people that can only be found in a hospital，both good and bad．I think it has taught me more of a life lesson than anything else．I now tell people when they ask me why I work for nothing，that there is a special feeling I get—the feeling that I did something good and was a friend to people who needed someone.

More and more of my friends are thinking about _____ the hospital volunteer staff．But being a hospital volunteer is not the only job that is needed．I tell people to look around before making the decision to commit to a volunteer job，commit to an afternoon or a weekend first helping someone who needs it．I have found that volunteering has _____ my life in many good ways．I see life from a different angle now.

One day a lady who was riding in a coach saw a boy on the road without wearing any shoes and was seemingly very painful．She asked the coachman to take him up，and said she would pay for him.

When the coach reached the end of its journey，the kind lady found that the poor boy was going to the nearest sea port，trying to find a job as a sailor.

Twenty years afterwards，on the same road，a sea captain who was on a coach saw an old lady walking tiredly along，and he made the coachman pull up his horses．He put the old lady inside，saying，“I’ll pay for her.” Feeling thankful，the old lady said，“I am too poor to pay for a ride now.

You are such a kind man!”

The captain told her that he always felt sorry for those who had to walk as she had been doing；then he added，“I remember，twenty years ago，near this very place，I was a poor boy walking along the road，and a kind lady paid for me to ride.”

“Ah，” she said，“I am that lady! But things have changed with me since then.”

“Well，” said the captain，“I have made a fortune．I’m rich now and have come home to enjoy it. I will allow you twenty-five pounds a year as long as you live.” The old lady burst into tears，and gratefully accepted the sailor’s offer.

“Throw the bread upon the waters，and you will find it after many days.” Let me explain these words.
