B
I was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour
every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind.
Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some
attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to
make better use of the 24 hours I have?"
I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was
looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents
were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.
A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens
and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the
confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student. I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or
scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told
me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the
languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think
about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel
manageable.
I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my
time.
