I have been working as a volunteer to help a vulnerable family. I teach a thirteen-year-old girl math and English twice a week. She is a hard-working student in spite of her difficult surroundings.
 Both her mother and her grandmother, who are her guardians, are not able to move freely because they are physically disabled and they subsist on government subsidies because they can't work. Despite these poor circumstances, she never lost her smile.
 When I first met her, I was concerned about my ability to help her. Teaching is not a familiar work for me. I wondered if she would embrace me as a teacher and if she could keep up with the lessons.
 Despite my concerns, however, she did her homework diligently and she participated actively in the lessons. Sometimes, she might feel bored because of my long lessons, but she has been taking lessons without any sign of dissatisfaction. I can sense her determination to learn.
 I learned a lot from her, a cheerful girl looking a bright side. Most children from vulnerable families have a dire need for education, but they often can't meet those needs because of the bad conditions. This volunteer work is very meaningful in the way that it meets people's need for education.
 During the mentoring program, I felt a sense of satisfaction from helping uneducated people who wanted to learn based on my knowledge and experiences. There are more people who need our help than we think.
There is a shortage of participants because the mentoring program is unknown. We are young, so we are still lacking expertise in many areas, but we are obligated to help others as members of society.
 I'm not majoring in education, but, as a student who has been educated in university, I feel that passing on what I have learned to others is precious and meaningful. The meaning of true learning is not for filling in one's resume with career experiences but for helping other people with genuine intention.
