It was our school’s open house today. Some boys and girls came here from different middle schools in town. In a month they will be choosing which high school to attend, so they are visiting various high schools for a look.

 

Our Volunteer Group needed 30 members to help with this event. We were supposed to show the visitors around. I thought it was interesting. Besides I love talking with new people. Therefore, I joined in.

 

In the beginning, wearing a badge, I planted myself at the school gate. I saw many students and their parents walk in. When a handsome boy turned up, I greeted him and asked, “Do you need some help? I could show you around.” He gladly accepted it. I took him to the garden, the library, the canteen and the dorm. The boys was much taller than me but a little shy, but he was cute.

 

After that I did the same thing with more visitors. The sun beating down, I felt hot and tired. Over all it was a pleasant experience. Apart from making new friends, I learned how to break the ice and start a conversation with strangers.

 

So if you are free and enjoy volunteering, welcome on board. You will not be disappointed.
