MY VOLUNTEERING EXPERIENCE

My volunteer work helps me grow up. It has made me more aware of the difficulties other people go through and made me appreciate the simple things we have in life. It enables me, as an adult, to become more confident and to realize the difference I can make.

I now have new career aspirations and the confidence to take forward these new ideas, since I started mentoring at the Open University and gained experience of working with young students. I'll go on to do a teaching assistant course and looking to go into volunteering teaching or youth work in the future.

My research project will be to build a spatial web application. It was inspired by the volunteering I do for another not-for-profit organization.

My volunteering at an animal shelter is neither connected to my studies nor to my career interests. I do it purely for pleasure, satisfaction and the feeling that I can help somebody. It's made me a happier person, and I wouldn't have got this far at university without it.

第3题

After retirement from medical research, my wife and I built our home in a gated community

surrounded by yacht clubs and golf courses on Hilton Head Island. But when I left for the other side of the island, I was traveling on unpaved roads lined with leaky cottages. The "lifestyle" of many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existence

By talking to the local folks, I discovered that the vast majority of the maids, gardeners, waitresses and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous to me. I wondered why someone didn't do something about that. Then my father's words, which he had asked his children daily when they were young, rang in my head again: "What did you do for someone today？"

Even though my father had died several years before, I guess I still didn't want to disappoint him. So I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services, we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached liked the idea, so long as they could be relicensed without troubles. It took one year and plenty of persistence, but I was able to persuade the state legislators to create a special license for doctors volunteering in not-for-profit clinics.

The town donated land, local residents contributed office and medical equipment and some of the potential patients volunteered their weekends ornamenting the building that would become the clinic. We named it Volunteers in Medicine and we opened its doors in 1994, fully staffed by retired physicians, nurses and dentists as well as nearly 150 nonprofessional volunteers. That year we had 5,000 patient visits; last year we had 16,000.

Somehow word of what we were doing got around. Soon we were receiving phone calls from retired physicians all over the country, asking for help in starting VIM clinics in their communities. We did the best we could--there are now 15 other clinics operating--but we couldn't keep up with the need. Yet last month I think my father's words found their way up north, to McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of Tylenol (泰诺: 一种感冒药). A major grant from McNeil will allow us to respond to these requests and help establish other free clinics in communities around the country.

What is the passage mainly about？

A．The contrast between the rich and the poor on an island.

B．The story of a man who likes to give others advice.

C．The life and work of a great father.

D．The inspiration of a father's words.

Walk'n Roll to School DayThe School District of Pittsfield, together with the help of many

Walk'n Roll to School Day

The School District of Pittsfield, together with the help of many local volunteers, has coordinated Pittsfield's first Walk'n Roll to School Day on October 5. On October 5, children and their parents are encouraged to walk, jog and ride their bicycles to school. This event was created in response to a growing trend in childhood weight related health problems, and to recognize that we all care about the health of our children and the health of our community.

As part of the event, an all-day educational festival will take place at the Darrow Elementary School, focusing on how walking and bicycling to school can improve children's health, and provide numerous other benefits to the community. We will need several volunteers to make this event come off smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Melissa Thompson at direct line: (352) 643-0129 or fax: (352) 643-0135. You can also stop by her office (located in the administrative office suite) at the Darrow Elementary School.

Dear Melissa,

I just called to talk to you about the Walk'n Roll to School Day, but you were not in the office. I am really excited at the event and am happy to volunteer in whatever capacity you need. I have noticed among my son's friends, that many of them could use some additional exercise. I believe that weight-related problems in children come from not playing outside, and not only from diet. I am so glad the school district has come up with this fun way to encourage walking to school.

You can call me at (352) 728-1100. If I am not in, let me know if there is a good time this week I could stop by to talk to you about this. My son is a fifth grader at Darrow, and I'll be here every day this week to drop him off and pick him up.

Hope to talk to you soon,

Danielle Schroeder
