Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest) in studying medicine at university.

Working there introduced me to a world that is very different from  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(I) in so many ways. I was shocked(震惊的) that many families over there had such  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}poor and difficult life. But I was also surprised at how positively people spend their daily  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (life). They come together and help each other, and that's something a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten. My work in the hospital  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) hard. Not only did I spend a lot of time cleaning floors, but also I got to spend some time looking after the patients (病人)  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful). And I liked  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(talk) to some doctors and asking them about the job. I saw some truly awful(极坏的) things in the hospital,  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}fact, they only made me more determined to learn medicine.

 {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I finished the work, I knew what I'm going to do in the future: I want to work for an international organisation like the Red Cross. I can't wait to get started.

When Grace Berbig was 7 years old, her mom became ill. Every day, Grace and her two younger sisters would write letters 1 of messages of love. These letters brought joy to their mom.2 their mother passed away three years later. After that, their father often reminded them that3 was a choice, and that it was their job to turn the heartbreaking(令人心碎的) event into4 positive(积极的). 

When Grace got into high school, she5 many organizations to offer help to others, but she6 felt like she was doing enough. "I want to7 a special way for people to help. Everyone can be a part of it, no matter 8 they have money or not. "

In October, 2018, Grace9 a club named Letters of Love at her high school to support children in fighting serious illnesses 10 letter-writing and craft-making. 

To her surprise, more than 100 students11 at the first club meeting. Letters of Love grew so fast that Grace had to raise money online to help cover the 12 of craft-making materials the next year. 

Now, Letters of Love has grown to more than 25 13 with over 1, 000 members. They 14 support for more than 60, 000 patients in children's hospitals around the world. 

Grace took a gap year(间隔年)before she started college so that she could focus on Letters of Love and15 other projects, including publishing a children's book. 

"The goal of the book is to tell children that they are never too young to change the world, "Grace said.

My grandmother left me almost 18 years ago but I still miss her every day. She was such an important part of my life. My mum, dad, brothers and I lived in her old house for most of my childhood. When I close my eyes and open my heart. I can still see her in her flower print, cotton dress. I can hear her high voice saying "hello" as I opened the door after school, while her arms opened to give me a big hug and a kiss. I can even remember the smell of hers. When she hugged me, I could feel the love and joy coming from her heart. 

I thought I knew everything about my grandma, but amazingly, I am still learning more about her even today. Just yesterday an old family friend stopped to talk to me at the post office. She told me what happened once she visited my grandma when I was still a little boy. They were sitting around the dining room table talking and our friend noticed the lovely earrings my grandma was wearing. She told my grandma how much she liked them and asked if my grandma could leave them to her in her will(遗嘱). Without a second thought, my sweet grandma took them off and gave them to her. 

I decided then that I want to regard my grandma as my role model. Be nice and care more about people and less about things.

If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

Some people say that young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all, more and more young people in the USA volunteer (当志愿者) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories. 

Alice Hamilton, 17

I'm going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths (徒步小径) in the mountains. It's going to be wonderful. I will spend the whole summer living in a tent (帐篷) and breathing the fresh mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I will be able to do some- thing good at the same time!

Jason Moore, 18

This summer I'll volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low- cost houses and sell them to the poor. They'll teach me what to do, so I am going to help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses. 

Trish Anderson, 16

I'm going to teach children who have difficulty in reading. I'll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I'm going to help children choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.
