In the hot summer vacation, I always choose to go home. In the first few days, I read my own books, listened to music and watched TV every day, which was very relaxing, but after a long time, I became bored. I happened to meet with various communities to select civilized county towns and organize practical service activities, and I immediately signed up. It is very meaningful to do some volunteer service activities. On the one hand, it can enrich life, increase experience and cultivate organizational and communication skills. On the other hand, it can also convey love and give back to society with a grateful heart.

My task is to serve three days a week for three weeks. Services mainly include community health and cleaning, summer entertainment services, and one-on-one help for vulnerable groups. Although I didn't achieve much, I worked hard and finished my task seriously. I learned a lot and benefited a lot in this process.

The sanitary environment of the community where I live is not bad, but the entrance is a narrow path with weeds on both sides. In the past, I always felt that the winding path was secluded, the vegetation was lush, and I didn't have a taste. But the weeds are getting longer every day, and most of the narrow paths are occupied. The grass is mixed with scraps of paper and plastic bags, which is even more messy. So on Monday morning, I got up early. I bought a pair of linen gloves and a hoe and ran to my destination. At first, I plunged my hoe into the haystack and slammed it back and forth. I only felt my arms swell and my legs tremble, and the clod was turned up to a great extent, and the grass remained stubbornly there. More than half an hour, just in vain. I just lost my hoe and pulled up my hands. My aunt who was doing morning exercises happened to pass by and said with a smile, "mowing grass is not only a physical activity, but also a technical activity." Eyes and hands are consistent, strong and even, and the posture should be correct. " She explained and demonstrated patiently as she spoke. Bend over, bow your legs, and your posture is clumsy or even funny, but you get used to it slowly and quickly. I was busy for a while and cleaned up a clearing.

As the saying goes, "the eye is superior but the eye is inferior", so I guess I really realized this gap. After years of study, I feel that I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, but whether I can put it into practice in the future is worth pondering. Enhance practical ability, see more, think more, study hard and ask questions frequently, not only weeding, but also adhering to this attitude in future study and work. As the ancients said, "It's too shallow to talk on paper, and you never know what to do."

After several busy mornings, I finally cleared the road. Although tired and sour, I am really happy. Whenever I walk in the community, I always subconsciously pick up the garbage on the ground and see the street cleaners start to smile at them in a friendly way. Respect the fruits of others' labor, make a modest contribution to the society, and reap the double happiness of family and mind.

In order to enrich the life of residents and improve the level of spiritual civilization, the community calls on everyone to participate in recreational activities. However, most residents like to bring their families with them, and there is less interaction and atmosphere between neighbors. The community is going to hold a weekend summer activity, and I was asked to help publicize the organization. After consulting with the person in charge of the neighborhood Committee, there are several activities such as chess, playing cards and square dance. It's generally confirmed. Firstly, the activity plan is written and the process is determined. Second, plan the venue and make a list of items such as tables, chairs and stereos. Third, arrange the person in charge of the activity and the service personnel. Next, put up posters in eye-catching places and mobilize everyone from door to door. Some residents have something to shirk, so I have to patiently and sincerely invite them, such as promising to help them look after their children, buy food for them, and provide iced drinks at the event site. This process needs constant communication and is good at understanding the actual needs of different residents in order to be sincere and moving. After several days of door-to-door invitation, everyone's attitude changed from indifference to concern, and their enthusiasm was quite high. On the night of August, the hot air slowly dissipates, and people in the community get together in groups of three or five, or play chess, play cards, take a walk, or dance in square dance, which is enjoyable and enjoyable. I joined the square dance team, helped my aunts play music, moved tables and chairs, and carried a few bottles of mineral water. Although things are small, this simple communication can really touch people's hearts. Their happiness infected me, and my body and mind were relaxed and happy. No matter whether the movements are skillful or clumsy, everyone is seriously stepping on his own beat and jumping with his own happiness. I met an old woman who danced very hard behind the team, just as she said to the people around me: "The greatest happiness is that people can struggle all their lives and earn happiness all the time without seeking fame and fortune." The meaning of happiness is different. In the later life, we should laugh at the troubles, decompress in time, be good at collecting happiness in life and convey hope and happiness.

My neighbor has an old couple whose children are away all the year round. Her husband has had a stroke for many years. Although he is rich economically, he leads a very lonely life. I spend half a day with these two old people every week. At first, I just read the newspaper and talked about things at home, but I kept talking. They answered politely. When asked what I can do for you, they always sayno. I think the two old people are relatively well-off financially and don't have to worry about food and clothing. Although grandpa's illness is difficult to treat, the government and children provide security and medical expenses are not worried. Mentally, when the elderly watch TV, I will tell some anecdotes, which should be improved.

It took a long time to know the practical difficulties of the elderly. Aunt always buys a small amount of grain, oil, fruits and vegetables, not because she can't finish eating them, but because she can't carry them; She seldom goes out for a walk or participates in recreational activities at night because of her poor eyes and limited physical strength, and she is worried about falling down. Uncle can't move regularly, so he can't go to the hospital for examination. He can only buy some medicine for treatment at will. The light bulb is broken and cannot be replaced in time; There is something wrong with the faucet and you can't fix it yourself; It is difficult for aunt to take care of her wife when she has a headache and a fever. Trivia like this is nothing to us, but it is very inconvenient in life. Once I happened to meet an aunt who bought a new medicine for her wife. I helped read the instructions. At first glance, I found that this medicine has great side effects, especially for stroke patients. The consequences of taking it blindly are unimaginable. The old man's eyes are not good, where can he care about this? Thought of here, suddenly worried.

My personal strength is limited, and I can only help them buy food, clean up the house, read newspapers and chat occasionally. But I think that by mobilizing people in the whole community to care for the disadvantaged groups around them and really go deep into their lives, the old couple and more people in need will live a more comfortable and happy life. It's best for everyone to form an organization, take turns to take care of and help, and spread and pass on this trend, so that the help can last.

Although the time of community service is very short, I have learned the truth of life from it and have a clear and pragmatic grasp of future life planning. In this process, my organizational and communication skills have also been tempered, and at the same time, I have paid more attention to social hotspots, got a deeper understanding and thinking about some issues, and began to realize my sense of responsibility, and I am willing to do my best to help others and contribute to society.
