Last year，I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service （社区服务）Before we took the bus，my friend asked me a question："Why are you here？"I did not know how to answer the question．

    The school was not far from my school，but it looked like it was in a different world．A group of children were waiting for us，A boy walked toward me．He held my hands and pulled me to the ground．I kissed the earth and tasted nature．

    I could not understand what he was doing at first，then I was very angry．Though I was very anrgy，I controlled my anger．

    A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy．"What are you doing right here，right now？"she said．"You will never ace your mom again if you keep doing this．Now say sorry!""Sorry．"he cried fearfully and nervously．I said noting，but I realized something about this child．After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents．

    She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness．His family could not afford to treat to treat him．He needed the kindness of his family，but they had abandoned him．So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us．

    I suddenly realiazed I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day．

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better．There are so many people in the world that need help．Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference．But in can light a corner in the children's hearts，making them know they are loved by people．

    The famous director（导演）of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset（日落）over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for over. He sent his camera workers out one evening to film the sunset for him.

    The next morning he said to the men, "Have you provided me with that sunset?"

     "No, sir," the men answered. The director was angry. "Why not?" he asked.

     "Well, sir," one of the men answered, "we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise（日出）over the sea, if necessary（必要）, but not a sunset. "

     "But I want a sunset!" the director shouted."（Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one."

    But then a young secretary had an idea. "Why don't you photo a sunrise," she asked, "and then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset."

     "That's a very good idea!" the director said. Then he turned to the camera workers and said, "Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."

    The camera workers went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful coast. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director. "Here it is, sir, "they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

    They all went into the studio（工作室）. "All right, "the director explained, "now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them. "

    The "sunset" began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera workers to stop.

    The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

    Simon lived in a big house with his family in the southeast of Australia. Their house was 20 kilometers from the town, at a beautiful beach. There were five people in his family. They're his parents, his two younger sisters and him. The house had four bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and two bathrooms. In front of the house, there were many trees and flowers. They had a very big farm around the house, and thousands of sheep were there. In the morning, Simon took a school bus to his school in the town. And after school, he helped his parents do some farm work. At weekends his school friends often came to visit. They usually travelled there by bus. On the farm they played games, went swimming and had a picnic together. They thought it was a nice place to live in. It was so relaxing, and never dull.

    Alf is a big soccer fan. At school, there are lots of children playing soccer. Alf really wants to be a soccer star, but he thinks he isn't good at soccer. He feels very sad. He always thinks about how to be a great soccer player.

    One day, Alf went to watch the school soccer match on the playground with his friend. There were many students watching the match. Suddenly Alf shouted, "Look out!" He jumped up and made a very good save(救球)！

    All the soccer players and the coach cheered for him. "What a good save, Alf! You're the best!" His friend said. The soccer coach came to him and said, "Alf, come with me." Alf stood in the goal(球门) and the coach took a shot(射门). It was a good shot, and Alf saved it. Alf saved the next shot, too; and the next one. All the students cheered. Now Alf knows he is a very good goalkeeper. He is good at playing soccer.

    Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic knew from an early age that he was different. There is no medical explanation for Vujicic's physical disability. Though he struggles（挣扎）with some little things of everyday living（brushing teeth, for example）,he has become a great speaker.

    Confidence didn't come naturally to Vujicic. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, he struggled with depression （抑郁）and was bullied（欺凌）at school. When he was just 10 years old, he tried to kill himself. Thanks to his family's strong support and selfless love over time, Vujicic chose to be positive towards life. After his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a serious disability when he was seventeen, he started to give public talks. The great Australian has visited more than 50 countries and given thousands of talks. No matter where he goes, he communicates the main message﹣that no matter what difficulties you meet, you can overcome ! Here's what he said in one of his powerful speeches:

"I felt like I was a burden （负担）to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me courage.

    Because of my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying and loneliness, God has given me a passion（激情）of sharing my story and experiences to help others deal with whatever difficulty they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of achieving their hopes and dreams. "
