题目内容
Abigale, who is in the sixth grade at Copley-Fairlawn Middle School, has turned a hobby into a good deed. The 12-year-old learned how to knit(编织) from her mother a year ago. Abigale saw her mom doing it and kept asking her mom to teach her and soon realized that the good could come from her new pastime(消遣).She decided to knit 100 scarves(围巾) to give to Akron’s homeless population. Abigale said she was inspired by the event of the past year.“After Hurricane Katrina, I saw all those homeless people,”Abigale said.
She also got her mother on board. Since the two began the project, they have knitted about 50 colorful scarves of various sizes. Abigale, who is also involved in cheerleading, music and dance, said it takes her about a week to finish each scarf. Her mother said she does as much as she can to help out, even though she has multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症). Abigale and her mother try to pick out fun colors and textures to keep the project interesting.
It’s not unusual for Abigale to do something for others. In the past years, she has donated her hair for wigs(假发) through Locks of Love and has been a teacher’s helper at school. She’s been helping her grandmother baby-sit her new granddaughter and she recycles cans for the fire department.
“We’re just going to keep going,”her mother said.“Originally Abigale thought 100 scarves would be enough, but I told her,‘Honey, there’s more than 100 people out there who need them.’Neither of us plans on stopping.”
