Everything comes from emotion
Author: Song Shuang, a junior student at the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, w88 casino and a volleyball volunteer
There is a type of people in the world who are strong, optimistic, and sunny, and they are Paralympic athletes; there is also a type of people in the world who are kind, caring, and extremely responsible, and they are Paralympic volunteers. The first team I came into contact with was the Chinese women's team in sitting volleyball. Looking at the young and beautiful faces and mutilated lower limbs of the girls, I felt a little overwhelmed in my heart. For the first time, I understood so deeply how cruel the word "fate" is. I must provide excellent services like the Olympic Games. I think they need us more. However, I was wrong, they were so optimistic.
From the moment they picked up the team and got off the bus, bright smiles have been hanging on the faces of the "girls in the rows". When they see us volunteers, they will take the initiative to greet us. When we stepped forward to help push the wheelchair, their courtesy made us feel the joy of helping others. During on-field training, the team members got out of their wheelchairs and jumped onto the field to sit down. That's only1meterThe nets on the left and right are really a high obstacle. The intensity of the sitting volleyball match is no less intense than that of a volleyball match. It’s hard to imagine how much they have sacrificed for this sport.
Our work is still the same as the original procedure, but the workload has obviously increased because we have to be more thoughtful and detailed. Sometimes, our companions will be too busy to take care of eating, and the classmates who have just sent us off to the next team will rush to help. Even so, we won’t feel tired because these athletes are so cute. We like their bright smiles, their confident playing skills, and their optimistic outlook on everything around them... In fact, all of this comes from being moved!
When an unfair fate meets an optimistic life, life is the strong one. Perhaps it was because of what I had learned from those optimistic and strong lives. Every time after get off work, everyone gathered together to talk about how exciting the game was and how handsome the team members were. Instead, "Today I helped an Egyptian athlete push his wheelchair. Although he did not speak English, he turned around and held my hand to express his gratitude." My companions all said that it was really worthwhile to serve these athletes, and the few days they were in contact with them even changed the world in their own eyes.
I am really glad to be a member of this team and experience the Beijing Paralympics first-hand. I believe that this experience will be my lifelong treasure!
