Volunteering is inspiring. Volunteering is inspiring. I never had the interest to volunteer until I was in my late 20s. Volunteering gave me the best experience in social life. Now I’m confident to do my challenging work. I thank volunteering more and more. --Guest Wilton |

Animal rescue (营救) 11 years ago, as a member of our local Great Dance Club, I volunteered to help with animals. Now I am the founder of Animal rescuers. And it covers all Texas. I’ve placed the homeless dogs in homes from Maine to California, and have met some of the worst and some of the best people on the planet. I only regret that I didn’t volunteer sooner. --Guest Jerry Dunham |

Terrible experience I was asked to help out in the computer lab because I was a computer expert. When I arrived, a person (another volunteer) there was very rude to me, said she didn’t need any help. I was speechless and left. It really made me sad and I didn’t offer to volunteer again. --Guest Rebecca |
Jane Scott is fourteen and the year before last she began to study in a middle school. She likes dancing and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and does not work hard at it. She thinks it difficult to learn. She falls behind her classmates and once failed the math exam. She decides to drop it. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.
It was Sunday. Mr Scott gave a call to his sister, who teaches math in another school. He hoped she would come and tell his daughter how to learn math. The woman came quickly and said. “You’re a clever girl, Jane. I’m sure you’ll soon do well in math if you work hard at it.”
“I’m afraid I can’t, Aunt,” said Jane, “Girls can’t be good at math.”
“I don’t think so,” said the woman. “I was good at it when was a girl. You must do more exercises and practice a math problem again and again until you master it. Remember: Practice makes perfect. Well, it’s a math problem. Think about it and practice it again, and you’ll work it out.”
“OK,” said the girl, “Let me try.”
About an hour later, Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I’ve done the problem ten times.”
