3rd volunteer

Today, Monroe school invited newspaper sports journalist who had graduated from northwestern univ. and impressively He is a korean like me. The reason why school invited him at monroe was to make students know about sports journalism by talking with him. So students asked questions about sports journal such as if why he decided to be a journalist and what kind of sports he liked to play, something like that quetions. They seemed to be interested in sports pretty much. they looked excited. I noticed big difference between korean and american elemantary students which is that usually american students are crazy for sports such as baseball, basketball, football. they are enjoying watching games since they were young. In school, one of their assignments is to write a relay broadcast. sports are their favorite play. even though they are grown, they love sports, you know. when their state baseball team game are held, everyone are going to cheer up. In contrast, korean students dont like sports as much as americans. after talking with journalist, we were taken pictures. As usual I played sports with them; soccer and baseball. I think they are really good at playing sports. In my opinion it's very good to love sports since they are young. it's very sound and healthy.


I went to Monroe elementary school 3rd time. I was thinking what volunteer means. because I was wondering if what I was doing at monroe was volunteer. I believe volunteer is to give a hand people who need help , so it's very worthful time But when I went to monroe school, I did nothing but just sitting and standing. I thought this was not volunteer. and they seemed not to need any help or assistant from us. what I've done there was just sitting, standing and playing soccer. is that helpful to them? and have I spent worthy time as a volunteer? If not, I think I don't really need to be there. You know, I don't want to waste my time if there is nothing to learn from volunteer. the problem is the time was worthful to me as well as them, students. To just waste time is not what Ozayr wants There must be something to learn. So far, I don't think I've found something. I feel it's time to do something!!
