As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I'm happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way was to work in the local paper factory in my town. I was very nervous,and then I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, "No! You are going to college." I was very surprised when he said, "OK. Let’s go to the paper factory."

Two days later, he took me to the factory. I imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music there.

When we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. I walked around the factory looking at the building and the workers, listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, "I want to go home." He asked me, "What do you think of the factory?" "Too bad, " I answered.

I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so that I decided to major in(主修) languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the paper factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. My life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
