LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He
36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good
37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes
38 , and helped Alex and
39 of the volunteers. There were only three
40 at first, and we figured we might as well get started
41 just waiting for more to arrive. I held the
42 , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not
43 asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to
44 those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,
45 I cannot alone
46 every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.
47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they
48 . I realized that
49 I wasn’t pushy(強求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be
50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.
51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small
52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away
53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the
54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and
55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
