community service
When heard we have to do community service for the freshman seminar, I immediately chose Beijing Chinese School as a place to do my service. I had been there for 1 year to teach little kids Chinese. Most of them were Asian kids who are born in U.S. I enjoyed being there to teach them the language that I speak fluently. Another reason was that I can learn to be more patient when teaching these kids. Impatience is always been my weakness; therefore, the experience of teaching children helped me to overcome the impatience. I was amazed by how fast children absorb the knowledge that we teach them. They are like sponges that absorb anything. As a result, the education for children is very important and that was why I chose to volunteer at Beijing Chinese School. Even though children are annoying sometimes, I still like to play with them because of their innocence. When I finished my day at Beijing Chinese School, there was one girl in my class asked me how to write my name in Chinese. After few minutes, she handed me a paper with her name and my name on it. I suddenly felt what I’ve done that day was worthy it. Last but not least, it was a great experience to teach children.
