Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well，that’s how I about joining Madcaps，a mothers and daughters’club assisting charity. ，my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an attitude．you might just enjoying it.
Six months ago，my mom told me the club asked us to work as at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter．That meant I had to in the dirty homeless shelter for at least 20 hours.
The first lime we went there，a lady led us to the kitchen where we my five fellow Madcaps classmates- they also wore the same mark .Since I′m usually awkward， I had never talked with any of them .Worse still，my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen，leaving me totally to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families in like rushing river．A little girl，around 5 years old，walked up to me I her a sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly．As she walked away, I she was wearing a coat．Clearly too big for her, hanging on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had with her．It suddenly struck me that how I am.
After that moment I had a of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the 20 hours of charity.
So that is how I have made a by doing one thing I do not want to do .If you have an open about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded（全面的）person.

One day I decided to quit．I quitted my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the to have one last talk with God． "Can you give me one good not to quit?" His answer surprised me．
"Look around． Do you see the fern（蕨类植物） and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good care of them．The fern quickly grew from the earth． nothing came from the bamboo seed． During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful． And , nothing came from the bamboo seed． But I did not quit on the bamboo． Then in the fifth year a sprout（新芽） emerged from the earth． Compared to the fern it was small and insignificant． But just 6 months later the bamboo to over 100 feet tall． It had spent the five years growing ． Those roots made it strong and gave it it needed to survive． I wouldn’t give any of my creations a challenge it could not ．”
He said to me． "All this time you have been struggling, you have been growing roots． I would not quit on the bamboo． will I ever quit on you． Don't yourself with others．The bamboo had a different from the fern． Yet they both make the forest beautiful． Your time will ． You will rise high! "
"How high should I rise?" I asked．
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked ．
"As high as it can?" I ．
"Yes," He said． "Give me glory rising as high as you can．"
I left the forest and bring back this story． I hope it can help you see that God will never on you． Never regret a day in your life． Good days give you happiness． Bad days give you ． Both are necessary to life．
