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.

For a few years I was 39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students．One of my most40students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficuIty walking，and could not speak．We 41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap（膝上）．One of her favorite songs was“John the Rabbit．”It was a clapping and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes”Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me．We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together．But she 45 said or sang a word．
One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around，46 me in the eye，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh，yes!” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment 1 was the one who could not speak．When my heart 4 8 started beating again I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 through music we had made an awesome connection．
Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town．She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had5 1 so many times in our music class．The little girl，52 her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever．Every child has the 53 to learn and grow．It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students．We all must find each child’s 55．

At that time 37 of the universities and colleges 38 only men. In the past 20 years many young women have 39 to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a 40 ，some women's colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others still refused to change. Now the women's colleges are 41 again.
