Question

4．Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice（收容所）volunteer．His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice，about how one day，she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her．But there was nothing wrong，he only wanted some companionship．He didn't want to be alone，so she sat with him．Goldsmith thought to himself，"There's no reason I can't do that．"
Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates．Last month，Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith，18，for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a   500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice．
"That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick，"Susie Flood said．"He hasn't just given of his own time and energy，but he's encouraged others to do the same．"Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House．He chose it because his mother's friend，whose story had forced him to volunteer，works there．
"They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers，"Goldsmith said．"The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer．"Students must earn a certain number of service，or community-service，hours to graduate from Dowling．
When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college，he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program．"I want us，as Dowling students，to keep making a difference，"he said．'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people，but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside．"
