There are various activities in my life, such as hard studying, hiking, gathering, competitions and so on. And what impresses me most was my experience of being a volunteer teacher in the summer vacation of high school. I was told what is responsibility by the experience.
When I have nothing to do at home in the summer vacation, I heard that the school organized some summer activities, the people who participated would receive additional praise for the final grade. I came to school and found there were enough students to occupy the activities except volunteer teacher which aimed at providing children in poor areas with an English education. As a matter of fact, I did not show any interest in this activity, for I thought that I just wasted my time and energy, the activities were a show to find some reason to add points for some person. Fortunately, the target was not far from my home and the teaching time was short, just one week. I thought my English was pretty good so I enrolled as a member of the teaching group. As my first time to teach others English in the class, I became quite excited and made up my mind to prepare for the class as well as I could. Because the teaching time was very short, I cannot teach all the section of the textbook, I have to choose some classic sections to tell. I read the all the sections of the textbook three times and choose seven articles. What's more, in order to prepare the lessons, I searched on the Internet for some additional information which could make the lessons easily understand.
Quickly, my first lesson was coming, there were 50 students crowing in a small classroom. To my surprise, the atmosphere in the classroom did not as warm as I thought. Most of the students' listening was poor, and their spoken were worse than their listening. They were very shy and did not have enough confidence to express their view by English. Fortunately, I had prepared a number of PPT which was about animated characters, and the students loved it. I allowed them speak English with Chinese words, so the students began to exchange up slowly and happily. In the following lessons, I used the same method for teaching and achieved good results. After all the lessons, students slowly dared to open their mouth to speak English.
I really benefit a lot from the unforgettable experience. I did not expect I had brought so much helps to others in advance, and after the teaching experience, I found that there are a lot of people around who faced various difficulties, which were easy for us. If we can help them actively, their lives could be easier. It is the self-realization that really makes our life meaningful. Also it is the responsibility to help others to make the society harmonious.
I think responsibility is like a small seeds, once it sowing in our mind, with the passage of time, it will take root, germination and growing. So If I luckily join Michigan State University, I will persist align the responsibility to help more people. Maybe I will organize some classmate to China as a volunteer English teacher
在我的生活中有很多经历，如刻苦学习，远足历游，搜集，比赛等。而给我印象最深的是那次高中暑假，我成为一名志愿者老师的暑期活动。让我知道了什么是责任。
那年暑假我在家很无聊，没什么事做。听说学校组织一些暑期活动，参加者会受到额外的奖励，并计入期末最终考评。于是我便来到学校，发现报名的学生已经很多了，除了为贫困地区的孩子做英语老师志愿者之外，其他的活动都满员了。事实上，我对这些活动也没有任何兴趣，因为我觉得这只是浪费时间和精力。这些活动只是一场秀，给某些人加分而已。不过幸运的是，支教目的地离我家不远，教学时间也很短，只有一个星期。我想我的英语很不错，所以加入该教学组。由于我第一次在课堂上教别人英语，我变得很兴奋，决心要尽我所能，为上课做好准备。由于教学时间很短，我不能教课本所有内容，需要选择一些经典的部分来教。我把教科书通读了三次，然后选择7篇文章。而且，为了备课，我在互联网上搜索一些其他的内容，使课程更容易理解。
很快，我的第一次课来了，一个小教室里面挤着50名学生。出乎我的意料，课堂上的气氛并没有像我想象的活跃。大多数学生的听力比较差，而他们的口语比听力更差。而且他们都非常害羞，没有足够的信心通过英语来表达自己的观点。好在我已经准备了许多的PPT，这些PPT中都是一些动画人物，同学们喜欢它。我让他们讲夹杂着中文的英语，所以学生们开始慢慢的交流起来。在后面的课上，我用同样的方法进行教学，取得了良好的效果。经过所有的课程后，学生们慢慢的敢开口说英语。
我从这次令人难忘的经历中获益良多。我之前并没有想到我能给别人带来这么多帮助。我发现周围有很多人会遇到各种各样的困难，但这些困难对于我们是很容易做到的。如果我们能积极地帮助他们，他们的生活可以更容易一些。帮助他人是自我价值的实现，真正使我们的生活更有意义。此外，我们有责任帮助他人，使社会和谐。
我认为责任是一个小种子，一旦它在我们脑海里播种，随着时间的推移，它会生根，发芽和长大。所以，如果我幸运地进入了密歇根州立大学，我会尽自己的责任帮助更多的人。也许我会组织一些同学到中国作为英语老师志愿者。
