| The splendid river in Spokane |
Their looks are so brilliant! It was my
first impression when I saw them.
This Wednesday, we had a great opportunity
to have conversation with people who are involved in volunteer work. My first
impression of them was amazing because each of them had a nice smile. In
addition I felt like I saw their wonderful inner side. Actually, all had such a
splendid personality and characteristic!!
I heard a lot about volunteer work of
cleaning the river in Spokane. Also, A
man I talked to looked so brilliant!! We have forgotten to ask our
question which we prepared in advance because we were swallowed by his topic
and we came up with other questions we really want to ask him! He has
participated in this work for a long time. To my surprise, about 800 people in
Spokane take part in this work every year. Also, to my surprise again, they
pick up about 1200 pounds of the trash each time. I couldn’t understand how much
it is, therefore I researched this number and it was 550Kg!!! How heavy this is!!!
We wouldn’t be able to image the scene after cleaning the river while
cooperating to everyone. Volunteering not only help people and environment but
is also make our personality grow!
To my pleasure, I could take part in
volunteering which work is to clean the river in Spokane. I was looking forward
to do because I could talk with a lot of community people and hear their
experience of volunteer work or opinion. Of course I wanted enjoy cleaning with
my wonderful friends! I have experienced the work like this but not as much as
this work, so I want to go back and remember how I felt and what I thought.
I asked a man one question. ” How does your
personality change as you do volunteer work? ” He answered “I could be happy
man!”
