Back in freshman year，I found myself wondering whether it should really be called "volunteering" if students only do it because they have to.

　　I ended up volunteering at Weyrich Health Care Center，helping elderly patients with daily tasks.The more I did these tasks，the more disconnected I felt from the old.Though I felt bad for them，I did not want to interact with them.

　　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?

　　Some people argue that volunteering and working for change does not help.However，they fail to realize that the world is constantly changing and humans must adapt.My experience at Weyrich Health Care Center has taught me that refusing to change one's views and accept new ones leads to short-term goals that finally disappear.Communication with others is an important part of life.Volunteering is not just a requirement or a way to improve your resume(简历)，it is a time for service and personal growth.

　　Now I enjoy volunteering my time surrounded by seniors who bring history alive for me.By communicating with them，I have developed into a more energetic person.
