B
When I was six, I began learning to sing. I've been volunteering since I was eight. My singing is a cappella. That is, I don't sing with music. I used to sing for my mother's friends, and then I started singing for fundraisers put on by church groups, women's clubs, and the Lions Club.
I have three books of poetry and songs. A fourth is in production. I gave all of the money from the books to children's charities. Money from my first book went to a school for deaf and blind kids. Money from the second book went to Home on the Range, a shelter for abused children, and to the Feed the Children fund for orphans in Bosnia.
I visit people at a local nursing home. I do the women's hair, and they ask me to come by on Sundays and perform for them. I also visit and sing for homebound hospice(临终安养院) patients. When I sing to someone who is dying and someone who is very sick, there's a smile on that person's face.
I find that everyone needs love and that everyone can give love. That's a really important lesson to me. Making someone happy makes you happy. Then that person goes on to make others happy, and it's like a chain.
