The joy of the first year's Christmas volunteer activities in Heyuan kindergarten played the initial notes for Wang Xinyi's volunteer experience.
Childish laughter seems to blur the sound of the passage of time, and in a flash, it has gone through three years. She is here to train children to do crafts, to do educational games, to teach English songs and so on, and to grow up with children.
"I gradually feel that children's hearts are actually very sensitive. In the process of communicating with them, they need to listen and empathize."
She said that she had some following the crowd when she first took part in volunteer activities, but she felt happy and pure when she got along with children and touched their sensitive and simple thoughts, so she actively participated in various volunteer activities of interest.
Volunteer activities gradually became a natural and pure habit, which integrated into her life.
Educational activities with frequent and deep memory
From the beginning of her freshman year, she provided guidance and psychological guidance for the young people at the crossroads of college entrance examination in terms of school and major selection. She enthusiastically shared with them the experience of the past people. Sometimes, a phone call lasted for two hours. "For the children who failed in the College entrance examination, it takes many exchanges to cheer them up."
For three years in a row, she squeezed out time in the heavy final exam week, and actively helped more than 300 senior high school students in the consulting group of Nantah Sichuan University, the consulting group of her high school alma mater and various one-to-one consulting.
One semester of letter exchange with children in Guizhou mountain area,
Describe the wonderful world outside the mountain to children,
Encourage children to study hard and walk out of the mountain.
I look forward to the joy of letters, immature handwriting and exchanging small gifts with each other,
Xinyi still has a fresh memory.
Summer Chinese teaching in Bali vocational high school,
It deepened her love for education,
Love for cross-cultural exchanges,
Love for empowering others.
Two years of peer tutor experience, more than 10 large and small sharing and exchange meetings, one-on-one guidance for more than 80 freshmen.
"Need based" is the mentoring principle of Xinyi.
As long as the students have demands, she will try her best to give targeted help, including the whole process of guiding the application of overseas exchange and urging the students to go abroad, helping the students in need to modify their English compositions, face-to-face or wechat phone psychological counseling, etc. "I can feel the feelings of the younger students who are relatively weak in English Department, because I was also a lot behind my classmates at the beginning.
I can understand their struggling very well. " She will take the initiative to care about the girls who need help in their study, understand their recent situation, even coach them to review before the exam, simulate dictation, give feedback to oral practice every day in winter vacation, etc.
Nanjing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Bali, Xinjiang
From side to side, voluntary activities to some extent
It's a line through her college life.
Hope to promote education equity
"The children in Bali are very smart. They learn Chinese very fast, and the words they are taught will be remembered soon. And they are very active in answering questions in class. After class, I will take the initiative to organize the notes of the day. However, they don't have the opportunity to get a better education. They can only start to do some tourism related work early. "
At the leadership exhibition, a team that won the first prize came from Hunan countryside. Xinyi participates in the charity foundation dinner to help them and communicates closely with these children to encourage them to pursue their dreams bravely.
The thinking of multi-stage educational volunteer and her own growth experience affect her choice of future direction. She realized her enthusiasm for education and was eager to explore the direction of optimizing the allocation of educational resources and innovative application of educational technology.
If enthusiasm and happiness set the starting point for her volunteer activities,
So rational thinking and planning for the future
Emotional empathy and understanding brought by personal experience,
Let her hot ideals and feelings like a line of general extension.

Xinyi describes her achievements in voluntary activities as "soft", "emotional feedback" and "emotional communication".
She has kept in touch with girls in Bali so far, and received concerns from Bali when the domestic epidemic broke out;
She has established friendship with the exchange students of Tibet Minda, the younger and younger students she met during the college entrance examination voluntary consultation, the younger and younger students in the outside school and many children she met in the voluntary activities, and even repeatedly mentioned the word "best friend".
These "emotional feedback" also make her ability to harvest in voluntary experience seem to have temperature: empathy, "self-cultivation", "can quickly adapt to a new environment, and establish a good relationship with others".
"I will treasure every blessing, every greeting card / thank you letter, every small gift."
Her feelings and efforts spread,
Connect with other people's emotional feedback,
Kindness and care are interwoven into a net,
Radiate into a face.
At the same time, Xinyi is very grateful for the opportunities brought by volunteer experience. "The interviewer of the international translation group of the Sino US high school students' leadership exhibition of the volunteer program is a student sister of Harvard University. Through her, I have become a start-up member of edwithu's global education community since my sophomore year. I have met many excellent predecessors and understood the connection, inspiration and empowerment in the field of education. Because of my sister, I joined the brainco team from Harvard Innovation Lab in my senior year. "
Volunteering brought her unexpected treasure.

The selection is not the end. After being rated as the "top ten volunteers" in November last year, she still insists on volunteering with enthusiasm, such as the first cooperation between the Youth Association and Jinling middle school.
From the winter vacation, she took part in the online education outside the school in Nanjiang area and in Jinling primary school under the senior year.
"I was surprised to find that children in Jinling primary school are more fluent and confident in oral expression than junior middle school students in Xinjiang." It also deepens her reflection on the distribution of educational resources.
Wang Xinyi participated in various off campus volunteer activities, and did not record the volunteer time in the South University Youth Association. And she doesn't want to measure herself by the length of her volunteer life.
"Time is a kind of recognition, and volunteering is a kind of feeling."
"Not all efforts need to be converted into performance, as is the case with voluntary activities, and so do many things in internship and work. These" useless "things exercise themselves in a subtle way. These "useless things" also make you more open-minded and open-minded. "
Compared with three long-term internships, volunteer experience is more pure and happy.
She has also put volunteerism into practice in two years of Department Affairs, class affairs, representatives of more than 10 courses, etc.
It was a natural choice for her to volunteer out of a habit, a pleasure.
This is naturally reflected in her answer to "how to balance learning time with volunteering":
"Volunteering is a kind of life adjustment, as long as I have the time to do the right project."
Volunteering is not a need for her to persist deliberately, but a part of the highlights of life. It is not only a feeling, but also a pure thing to join in voluntary activities. When talking about the future, Xinyi said without hesitation that she would continue to participate in voluntary activities.
Maybe no matter how far she goes,
The purity of this idealism will be
The beginning and origin of her journey.
