Summary

-Third-year undergraduate student in Social Psychology

-Seeking for Summer internship and volunteer

My volunteer experience in community service made me realize that social service needs much more patience, responsibility, and careful insight. Seeing the helped people smile and have a happy time with my help, I understand more about the valuable mission and significance of social work.
Helping others is helping myself. The warm and touching power and the effort to overcome difficulties from the people being helped always give me the courage to stand up for myself and more people in need.
I know am still far from a professional social worker or a psychological support provider, but I won't stop my journey.
