The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.

Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood, disorders, ” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better,” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to take their first step to become volunteers.

Making the decision to take the first step can be difficult, because people often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people are afraid of knowing nobody in the group. Not having enough time, the cost of traveling and training or being short of experience may also prevent someone from showing their abilities.

Here are some suggestions that can help you if you have some of these worries.

★Start out slowly. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.

★Choose an organization with the same interest.

★Work with an experienced volunteer. The person who volunteered a lot can help you understand the organization’s expectations.

★Invite a friend or family member to join you. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★Enjoy the volunteer experience and remember that not all results are perfect. Don’t give up and you’ll finally help someone.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives, as Mason discovered during his volunteer experience. Little things can change a person’s life for the better.”
