This has inspired me to become president of the National Art Honor Society（NAHS）at Catonsville High School，whose goal is simply to make our community and the world a more beautiful place in which to live。To achieve this goal，we have done countless projects，making crafts and painting canvasses ranging from the face of an eager young child to murals on graffiti covered walls。Last year we were even able to design and paint a mural for the local YMCA，raising over$1500 for the Johns Hopkins Children Center。I organize events such as our annual community crafts fair and our art auction，where we sold our student pieces and did face painting for children，help make crafts，paint，and write and edit articles for our monthly publication，The Palette。Seeing the glitter in the eyes of a child，whether it be from acquiring new hope that she will not always have to be ill or simply from having a Sponge Bob Square Pants or rainbow cat painted on her face，I have come to love volunteering，and it has taken on profound significance for me。In addition，I volunteer as a tutor as I have realized the importance of education in the development of a person。Though sometimes a bit frustrating，I really enjoy being able to help a fellow student understand something and improve。I remember one particular instance where my using the idea of a scale on which each variable was a weight to explain balancing an equation caused an instant epiphany。Most recently，I have begun volunteering at St。Agnes Medical Center，the community hospital。Being allowed to assist nurses in caring for patients directly out of surgery as well as to observe surgery，I discovered that I want to spend the rest of my life as a physician so that I can help alleviate the pain of others。
The memory of the ephemeral moment haunts me even today，but it has ceased to be a nightmare of human suffering；rather，it has become an inspiration for fortitude and hope。Today I look to her in moments of weakness and find strength；today I volunteer in hopes of bettering the lives of those less fortunate，even being so privileged as to win the Soroptimist International Violet Richardson award for volunteering；and today I dream of becoming a doctor。
海雯的作文是英文寫的，我不想去翻譯，隻是講講這個故事吧。這是前幾年她回中國時看到的情景：一天晚上，我太太的妹妹請我們到餐館吃晚飯，吃完飯出來時，門口有一個小乞丐，一直纏著我們。這事我們都沒有在意，沒想到海雯卻很在意，把這件事寫進了作文。
