I spent several nights lying in bed, thinking about what to say. Many things crossed my mind, but none of them involved all my classmates. Then one night, it hit me. Erwin High School has the highest dropout rate of any high school in our county. What better goal could we have than for every single one of us to graduate? What if I could get my class to become the first class in the history of our public school system to enter high school as freshmen and all graduate? Wouldn’t that be awesome?

The speech I gave on graduation day was only 12 minutes long, but what it started is unbelievable.

As I showed the personalized certificates and signs each student would get, I could tell they were really enthused. At the end of my speech the whole audience jumped to its feet with a standing ovation. It was all I could do to keep my composure and not break down and cry. I’d had no idea my challenge would bring this kind of response.

l Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out and help.
l Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms; you will discover you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.
l Helping a person will not necessarily change the world, but it will change the world for that person.
l Never hesitate to help others in their time of need. You never know when you may need that shoulder to lean on.
l Life's finest hour is when we do good things to nameless people without expecting to remember our acts of kindness.

l The quality of your life will be determined by the quality of your contribution. When you work to improve the life of others, your life improves automatically.
l We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
l When you volunteer, you are not paid in money or recognition. You are paid in love. People may forget what you said, and people may forget what you did, but they will never forget how it made them feel.
l Volunteer are not paid—not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.
l What we have done for ourselves dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
l Give your hands to serve and your heart to love.
l No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
l Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people’s lives, including your own. Helping others in need is such an important part of life.
l Volunteering helps people feel they make a difference — that they do have the power to change things for the better.
l I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) 33 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly.

A possible version:
Our class planned to organize an activity on March 5th, the day in memory of Lei Feng. The day before, we had a class meeting to discuss what we would do. After a heated discussion, we decided to go to a senior citizens home to do something for the elderly.
On March 5th, we set out early in the morning. As soon as we got to the senior citizens home, we first did a thorough cleaning. Some swept and mopped the floor. Some cleaned the windows and the others did some washing. An hour later, the rooms in the senior citizens home looked clean and tidy. And then we were divided into two groups. One group gave wonderful performances that the elderly enjoyed a lot, the other group taught those who were interested in English some daily English expressions. All the elderly had a good time with us. When lunch time came we had to say good-bye to them.
We’ve really learned a lot from what we did. We also realize that we can make ourselves useful to those who need help and care.

December 5th is National Volunteer Day, as for Chinese we have March 5th as a volunteer day to commemorate our immortal hero Lei Feng. To study from his spirit, we planned an aid activity at a senior citizens home, which had been carefully arranged by each of us on March 5th.
Finally the big day came. We set out early with the sun shining in the sky, wind slipping by our side, and everything seemed so nice. Upon arrival, we greeted the elderly and started our cleaning work. Some of us swept and mopped the floor, while others cleaned windows and tidied the rooms. Being well-organized and earnest, we soon got everything done.
After that, we taught some of those affable elderly people basic English words and several simple sentences. The granny I taught was really a quick learner, and apparently, we had a great time together. Also, we put on performances, and thanked to the effort of everybody, warm applause was given and we all felt satisfied.
Time flew. Soon it was the time to wave goodbye. We all had lots of fun and we gained a lot from what we did. Love and care are always the best gift to other people. And it is not how it comes, but what it contains that builds up the relationship between two men, no matter if you have ever met. It’s the deduction spirt and humanity that break the barrier of age, gender or territory.

March 5th was the day in memory of Lei Feng and we held this activity to remember him. After a lively discussion, we decided to go to the senior citizens home where we could help the elderly.
On arriving there, we rushed in. We just couldn’t wait to do something for the elderly. We helped them do some housework. We swept the floor and cleaned the windows. With our work finished, the room looked tidy and delightful.
After a short break, we performed for the elderly. It made them laugh again and again – maybe because of our poor performing skills. After all, it was amused.
You know what? After the performance, some of the elderly even wanted my classmates and me to teach them English! They were so admirable weren’t they?
The time passing, we had to say goodbye to them. I thought that the elderly were lonely and helpless. It was not for duty, but for kindness, that we should help them and help other people who need help.

The Lei Feng Day was coming soon, so my classmates and I wanted to do something. After a heated discussion, we decided to help the elderly who lived in the senior citizens home.
On the Lei Feng Day, hardly had we got there than we got down to doing some cleaning as planned. Girls were responsible for cleaning windows while boy took charge of sweeping the floor. Despite our tiredness, we worked in high spirits.
After the cleaning, we were divided into two groups. Each group performed a different task. One gave the elderly people a fantastic performance in the hall and the other were asked to teach the elderly some daily English expressions when they saw broad smiles appear on their faces, happiness and achievement filed their hearts.
Happy time always passes quickly. When we left the senior citizens hoe, all the elderly people said goodbye to us. Although we felt tired, we thought it worthwhile.

Our class organized an activity on March 5th, the day in memory of Lei Feng. We decided to volunteer at a senior citizens home, because we had seen how lonely some of the residents were.
The day before, a class meeting was held to discuss what we should prepare. They gave lots of good ideas during the heated discussion.
On March 5th, we set out early in the morning with pleasure, we heled the elderly clean the windows and swept the floor. Some classmates were in charge of cleaning work while others tooks the task of chatting with the elderly. Our hearts were enveloped with happiness when we saw their smile from the bottom of their hearts. We also gave wonderful performances that they enjoyed a lot.
We had to say goodbye before much time. That meaningful volunteering experience has shown me that I can bring joy and warmth to the elderly. It made me a more caring person.
