On October 7th, I took part in the SIDS Run. Before October 7th, my teacher told us what SIDS is. I had never heard about it. It was a good opportunity to know about SIDS. It is difficult for the parents to accept the fact that their children died and to overcome their sadness. If I were the parent, I would not be able to do that. However, this SIDS Run was a good event for the parents to be positive.
I took part in this event because I thought it was good and a rare opportunity to communicate with native speakers, but I couldn't talk with any native speaker except Timothy. I expected a better situation, so I was a little disappointed. Actually, on the day of Spokane River Clean up, I had less chances to talk to native speakers. However, I enjoyed both events. I didn't talk with many native speakers, but I chatted with my group members while we were walking. Through that time I could know them better. It was very fun. I don't like exercising, but I really enjoyed walking with my friends.
I was very happy to join such an enjoyable volunteering event. The SIDS Run was a good opportunity not only to have fun, but also to learn about SIDS.
