Then one rainy day，I met Colonel Hemsworth.He invited me to his table and asked for some company.I regarded this as another boring task.However，when I listened to his stories，I learned that he was a brilliant war soldier，and I found his tales interesting. After my brief talk with the Colonel，I realized that I shared common characters with all the old people.I met with many learned senior citizens who shared their experiences and wisdom.No longer did I walk aimlessly down the hallways.I found myself enjoying talking with these people as I learned their histories.Why hadn’t I realized sooner that volunteer work could enlighten me?
