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.
那天电视台报道,一位退休的学校的数学老师,贝思史密斯,志愿服务在过去20年在联合国难民营在泰国,帮助不能上学的孩子学习数学和英语。当看故事我就被深深地感动了,尤其是当记者问贝丝为什么她将她所有的时间都花在一个第三世界国家做志愿者,她回答说:“通过帮助这些孩子,我觉得我在做对社会有益,所以我感到快乐。”她的回答让我想起了帮助他人的美德,我意识到她是一个真正的英雄在我的心中。
