I always believe that， as a college student， we are expected to make full use of the winter vacation。 It is a good time to participate in social activities。 Therefore， I made up my mind to get involved in voluntary work and devote myself to community service。

     Originally， I was arranged to visit The Home For The Elderly in our community with others。 Since it’s the first time for me to take good care of the strangers， I prepared a lot in advance。 Then， I started my brand-new experience。

     Upon our arrival， we were warmly welcomed by the elderly who were sitting in the yard and bathed in the sunlight。 With pleasure， we chatted quite a few fresh stories happened in our young life and many unforgettable experience in their past time。 I deeply realized that， one day， I would become one of them with sparse hair and deep wrinkles。 At that time， I wouldn’t depend on myself totally and I might long for others’ care to some extent。 When I have to be confronted with the fact which will inevitable happen in the future， I would like to spare some time to take care of the elderly to make contributions to myself and society at present 。

     When it was time for us to leave， they said， it was a rather nice day and thanked for our kindness。 As for me， I obtained a lot about this great experience。 “Thank you for your lesson。”
