If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?
Don’t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer 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 Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It’ll be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time.
Jason Moore,18
This summer, I’m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do, so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.
Trish Anderson, 16
I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I’m going to help kids 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.

Get SMART This Year

If you’re one of 3 , you’ll be more successful if you make SMART goals! Each goal should be:
Specific. Don’t say you want to lose some 4 , read more or exercise. Decide how much weight to lose, how many books to read, or how many times a 5 to exercise.
Measurable(可衡量的). Weigh yourself daily, count the number of books you read 6 , and make notes of how many times you exercise each week.
Attainable(可达成的). Don’t set impossible goals. For example, don’t make promise to lose 10 kilograms in a week. Or if you have just 7 running, realize you won’t be running a long-distance race in a month.
Relevant(相关的). If you love history, you probably 8 read eight books a month about science. You won’t stick with it if the subject isn’t 9 .
Timely. Set deadlines. How long will you 10 to read a book?
A new year is about starting over--- so start now!
