What do you like to do when you have free time? From the title, you know how much I love serving the community. ‘Half of me was born to serve others’, this was the description I have used before when I was asked to deliver a speech about my life as a volunteer.

I have 10 years experience of being a volunteer. You can call me as a ‘fan’ of serving others as being a volunteer brings me the greatest amount of happiness.

I was 8 years old when I first had the experience of serving the needy ones. I could still remember how happy the elderly people were when I played the piano and my classmates sang Christmas songs to them. And they told me about they old good memories.

I participated in services organised by different charitable organizations in my secondary school life. For example I helped OXFAM and the World Wide Fund. These are all very great experience. But the greatest fun of serving others is not just to participate in service programmes.

Starting from high school time, as a quite experienced volunteer, I have the chance to taste organizing service programmes myself as Project Chairperson, from that time onward, I found that the true happiness of serving others, is not just to participate, but to participate in organizing service programmes to serve the needy ones.

When I got into University, even though my study is posing great pressure on me, I never say no to be a volunteer and to organise service programmes as when those I served smile to me, it is actually a very joyful thing. Some of them even send me e-cards during festivals! These all soothe my study pressure.

Even after my university life, I wish I could serve others by providing service using my knowledge. I want to assist charitable organisations by giving them free administrative service so that they can save more money for serving more people.

I’m loving to serve others! So please don’t hesitate anymore, start being a volunteer and bring happiness to yourself!
