The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving presents, or even getting an A on the math test you studied so hard for. Rather, it when you hand a cup of hot coffee to that older man sitting on the side of the street asking for money. You feel it when you drive an hour and a half to a to meet children with cancer. And you feel it when you sit down with your friend to comfort her her mother died. Helping others can be the greatest feeling in the world, and I this just one year ago.
My friend asked me to attend a Youth Group meeting at his church. After an hour of listening to them their opinions, I was invited to go with them to help the homeless.
Early that Saturday morning, a team of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches and counting bags of candy. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, can make a . Since it was my first time, and I wasn’t part of the group, I felt a little out of place. But watching the others the food drove my nervousness away.
Before long, all 150 bagged lunches were gone and the group was its way home. I realized that not only is my friend an amazing person, but that all of those people are amazing. That’s what made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop but don’t make much. It’s not the best job, but there are times when it’s worth it. For example, a few weeks ago, when the store was and I was bored, looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He had been there before. As a matter of fact, he came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took up a cup of coffee, walked outside, and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I put my own money into the drawer. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help
is – the greatest feeling in the world.

Life is not easy, so I’ d like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself. "
When I was a young boy, I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates 17 laughed at(嘲笑) me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 18 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest (比赛). My 19 asked me to take part in it. What a 20 idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.
" 21 , boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest. " Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. 22 I chose the topic "Believe in yourself", I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it 23 100 times. With the help of my mother, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the 24 came that I had won the first place; I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all 25 "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged (拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. 26 I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
