When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am goingto my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone's life justby being with him or her -- a summer school for autistic (患孤独症的)children.

      By helping the kidsread or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping themfeel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids Iwork with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas. 

      Of course, each kid isspecial. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.

      At the school, the kidslearn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skillsthey will need later in life.

      The very first day Ivolunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said“Hello”. From then on, I knew I could make a difference.

      Another boy loved tohave me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could beencouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during readingpractice, he read nearly 220 words himself!

      Summer school is also atime for fun, Last summer, bagpipe(风箱)playerscame to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were soloud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised herhand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes infront of everyone.

      Through theseexperiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop themfrom doing many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching memore.
