My name is Collin (Boyuan) Cheng, this is my first time join the Bear Breaks Program of MSU, and it is such a wonderful volunteer experience in my college life. We volunteered after school activities with children from Bright Futures House on yesterday. I am in the group played Volleyball with the Children, after have a long day in classroom they look pretty tired and very excited for play game. I totally understand them cause when I was in school I was looking forward the activities after classes everyday. I felt so great the moment when we get point children came to surround me gave me a five, that moment told myself: that’s what I want to do. I really enjoyed play with them, we had a lot of fun. After volleyball game, we set tougher had dinner with them, we talked a lot during the dinner. They told me what they love to do after school and they really like this after school program because so many different volunteer groups come there ever week. They also ask a lot of questions about my hometown (China), some of them told me when they graduate in high school they want to apply go to study abroad. I encouraged them keep that in mind and told them my own experiences about study in US and I joined study away program of MSU went to Europe last summer. I saw a lot of naivete trueness from their lovely eyes, which is the true love.
Tomorrow will be the last day of our trip, after this trip I want to do more and more Volunteer activities in the future. Thanks for this program help me make a meaningful Missouri statement in my college life!
