I am a student from Green Middle School. My name is Li Ming. I like helping others because I think it makes me happy. I often help my classmates with their schoolwork. Sometimes I help to clean up city parks. I go to the old people’s home and do some cleaning for them once a month. I often visit the Children’s Hospital to cheer the sick kids up. I read stories and sing songs for them. I’m good with children. I also give money to charities to help people in trouble.
I think giving is receiving. Helping others is helping ourselves. Do you agree with me?
