Some people think that providing meals to the homeless or cleaning public places for university students as volunteer activities is more helpful to the community. However, in my opinion, helping elementary students with their studies is more efficient to assist the society. First of all, by teaching someone, students can build experience that would be helpful in the future. Second, teaching something is required expertise in specific areas. To begin with, explaining to someone is beneficial experience for university students who prepare for employment. Experience is one of the most essential factors to succeed in this world. Imagine people only have textbook knowledge during their life. Their views will be so narrow when dealing with trouble. By attaining a myriad of experience, people can not only gain diverse experience but also broaden their horizons of the world as well. For example, When I was university students, I used participated in volunteer activities supporting students who have problems in studies. My major was mathematics, so I helped children deal with the challenging math problems using many concepts which make it easier to understand. Before class, I practiced the process of explaining several times. Through this experience, I learned how to speak coherently. And this was useful for job interview. On top of that, Only people with a wide range of knowledge are qualified to teach someone. Anyone can offer foods for the homeless or clean up public facilities. But when it comes to education, it is necessary to have plenty of knowledge. For example, when I was young, I once asked my friend questions I did not know because I was tired of going to the teacher's office. Although my friend did not understand know about the problem, he explained to me as he knew it. It was a sham, and it only confused me. Finally I asked the teacher and understood perfectly. To sum up, By teaching the university students can spend useful time. Also, to educate someone, the specialized knowledge in certain areas is required. In this regard, I think supporting young children with their academic abilities is a better choice when doing volunteer work as a college student. |
