At first, I was hesitant. I didn’t think I was strong enough to help other people when I was still grieving myself. But my mom convinced me to give it a try.

I started volunteering at the children’s hospital once a week. I would spend time with the kids, play games with them, and just listen to them talk. At first, it was difficult. But after a while, I started to realize that I was making a difference in the kids’ lives.

One day, I was playing with a little boy named Michael. Michael was 5 years old and had cancer. He was in the hospital for a bone marrow transplant.

Michael was a very shy boy. He didn’t talk to much at first. But after a while, he started to warm up to me. We would play games together and talk about our favorite things.

One day, Michael asked me if I would be his friend. I was so honored. I told him that I would love to be his friend.

Michael and I were friends for the rest of his stay at the hospital. We would play games, talk about our favorite things, and just hang out together. Michael helped me to heal from my grief, and I helped him to be brave and face his cancer.

Michael’s cancer eventually went into remission, and he was able to go home from the hospital. But he never forgot me. He would send me cards and letters, and he would call me on the phone.

Michael died a few years later. But even though he’s gone, he’s still in my heart. He taught me so much about life, love, and friendship.

Volunteering at the children’s hospital was an experience that changed my life. It helped me to grow as a person and to develop a new understanding of myself and others. I learned that even when I was going through a difficult time, I could still make a difference in the lives of others.

I also learned that everyone has a story to tell. We may not know what other people are going through, but we can all be kind and compassionate. We can all make a difference in the world, one person at a time.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story with you. I hope that it will inspire you to make a difference in the world, one person at a time.
