A
The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving gifts or getting good grades in the exams. It starts when you do something for others. You feel it when you drive an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you feel it when you sit down to comfort (安慰) your friend after her mother died.
My friend took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless. Early that Saturday morning, a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches, washing fruit, and counting bags of cookies. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop. It’s not the best job, but sometimes it’s worth it. One day, the store was empty and I was bored. Looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took 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 paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group felt every time they helped someone. Knowing that you can help others is great.

I’ll never forget the Easter in 1946. I was twelve, my little sister, Ocy, was ten and my older sister, Darlene, was fourteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what we should do without dad. My dad had died five years before leaving Mom with no money and three school-aged kids to raise．
By 1946, a month before Easter, the pastor（牧师） of our church announced that a special holiday offering would be taken to help a poor family. We talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and lived on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we turned our electric lights off as much as possible, we'd save money on that month's electric bill．
The night before Easter, we were so excited that we could hardly sleep. We didn’t care that we wouldn’t have new clothes for Easter; we had seventy dollars for the sacrificial offering. We could hardly wait to get to the church!
Finally, we sat in church proudly. When the offering began, mom put in a ten-dollar bill and each of us kids put in a twenty-dollar bill. We sang all the way home from church. Over lunch, mom had a surprise for us. She had bought a dozen eggs, and we had boiled Easter eggs with our fried potatoes!
Later that afternoon the pastor dropped by. Mom went to the door, talked with him for a moment, and then came back with an envelope in her hand. We asked what it was, but she didn’t say a word. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money．

A
The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving gifts or getting good grades in the exams. It starts when you do something for others. You feel it when you drive an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you feel it when you sit down to comfort (安慰) your friend after her mother died.
My friend took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless. Early that Saturday morning, a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches, washing fruit, and counting bags of cookies. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop. It’s not the best job, but sometimes it’s worth it. One day, the store was empty and I was bored. Looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took 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 paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group felt every time they helped someone. Knowing that you can help others is great.

I’ll never forget the Easter in 1946. I was twelve, my little sister, Ocy, was ten and my older sister, Darlene, was fourteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what we should do without dad. My dad had died five years before leaving Mom with no money and three school-aged kids to raise．
By 1946, a month before Easter, the pastor（牧师） of our church announced that a special holiday offering would be taken to help a poor family. We talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and lived on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we turned our electric lights off as much as possible, we'd save money on that month's electric bill．
The night before Easter, we were so excited that we could hardly sleep. We didn’t care that we wouldn’t have new clothes for Easter; we had seventy dollars for the sacrificial offering. We could hardly wait to get to the church!
Finally, we sat in church proudly. When the offering began, mom put in a ten-dollar bill and each of us kids put in a twenty-dollar bill. We sang all the way home from church. Over lunch, mom had a surprise for us. She had bought a dozen eggs, and we had boiled Easter eggs with our fried potatoes!
Later that afternoon the pastor dropped by. Mom went to the door, talked with him for a moment, and then came back with an envelope in her hand. We asked what it was, but she didn’t say a word. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money．
