Students Who Volunteer

Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others.

Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “ It' s hard work , ” he says , “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals . I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners' faces.”

Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program .she still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they‟re going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.

Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.

I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.

“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can‟t work all day and do housework all evening.”

“Well, I work all day at school, too! I‟m just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.

My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.

The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.

“What happened?” she asked in surprise.

“I‟m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.

Dear Sir,

I don‟t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don‟t have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there‟s no need for them to do it now. It is the parents‟ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don‟t mind doing them.

Mr. Smith

Dear Sir,

I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It‟s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They‟re always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children‟s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor‟s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

Ms. Miller
