I join a walking of The Alliance for Lupus Research(ALR) on October 22,2011. It is a national voluntary health organization in New York City. Through the walking, we hope more people care about the Lupus problems and help those people who are suffering Lupus.
When I heard that I would join this community service project, I felt excited about it. This is my first time to do the community service. I felt happy that I would contribute my time to help other people. There are thousands of people join the walking. they all are benevolent. They are willing to contribute their time and money to help other people even they don’t know who they are. trying to help others whatever you can do that’s what I learn from those people.
During the community service, the most trying experience for me was the long distance of the walking. we need walk several miles from the beginning to the end. I think I need more exercise to improve my physical strength. After walking, I felt exhaustive. I am so proud of those people who finished the entire walking. They can finish the walking because they not only have good physical strength but also they have faith in their heart. they believe what they do could help more Lupus patients.
If we want more people to pay more attention on a larger society issue, we need congregate the power of masses. We know that the individual is so weak, but when we come together for one goal, we would have much more power to accomplish the goal. To congregate that many people to work together for the one goal, you should have good skill of communication and you should be charismatic.
I know that when I live in a community, I am a part of this community. I need to do something to improve the community, like other people are willing to help the community. throughout this community service, I learn that I even you do something small you also can help other people. so you can’t have any excuses to not to do the community service.
I satisfied with my experience overall, because this is my first time to do the community service and I learn many experience form the service. I will keep trying to join the community service. When I do the community service, I also help myself because I am living in this community. the community is good and I also feel good. I am so pleased to join the community service. it is my pleasure to help other other people.
