I am a freshman at Orange High School. In 2013, I founded an organization called Love For The Elderly. So many elderly people have no one to care for them, and no one to love them. When I say this, I am talking about pure love, unconditional love that shows kindness no matter what the situations may be.
The elderly have smoothed the pathway of success for our generation. They should be shown appreciation (感激) and kindness, but are often forgotten. I am sure all of you have someone in your hearts who has been at a nursing home. Think of them while I say this; they should get the best, nothing but the best. The elderly are such an unusual group of people, and their shining wisdom can most certainly be learned from. This idea of showing appreciation to the elderly reverberated (回响) inside my head, until finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.
My love for and ability in writing led me to create an organization, where people from all across the world send nameless letters filled with kindness and joy, from Iceland, Romania, Finland, Australia, and more. I then send these letters to senior centers, and nursing homes located all across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1,000 letters, and the reaction I have received from these organizations has been truly unbelievable.
This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness competition to help my organization. This money has been of great help. We do not receive much money, and so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This act of kindness has been very helpful to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative. If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly. org.

As you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun. We spend hundreds of hours at school trying to get our tongues round different vocabulary and grammar in order to earn a qualification. But learning to speak a second language is more than just passing an exam-it opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.
