The other day the TV reported that a retired school math teacher, Beth Smith, has been volunteering for the past 20 years at a United Nation’s refugee camp in Thailand, helping kids who cannot afford to go to school learn math and English. I was deeply touched when watching the story, especially when the reporter asked Beth why she would spent all her time in a third world country volunteering, she replied, “By helping these kids, I feel I’m doing good for the society, therefore I feel happy.” Her answer made me think about the virtue of helping others, and I realize that she is a true hero in my heart.
那天電視台報導,一位退休的學校的數學老師,貝思史密斯,志願服務在過去20年在聯合國難民營在泰國,幫助不能上學的孩子學習數學和英語。當看故事我就被深深地感動了,尤其是當記者問貝絲為什麼她將她所有的時間都花在一個第三世界國家做志願者,她回答說:“通過幫助這些孩子,我覺得我在做對社會有益,所以我感到快樂。”她的回答讓我想起了幫助他人的美德,我意識到她是一個真正的英雄在我的心中。
