I grew up poor-living in a big family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and a wonderful mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was sports. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One-special incident（事件）with him changed-my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and I was offered a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for dates with girls, money for a new bike, new clothes, and I could begin to save money for a house for my mother.
Then I realized, to do that work, I would have to give up summer baseball training. When I told coach Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work." he said, "Your time for playing isn`t long. You can't afford to waste it”.
I stood before him with my head banging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.
"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked.
"Three point five an hour." I replied.
"Well," he asked, "is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"
That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal for the future. I practiced hard that summer, and within the year I was chosen by a famous team to play baseball, and was offered $ 20,000 a year.
Later, I was given a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona, which led me to an education. In 1984, I began to play the Denver Bronces for $ 1.7 million a year, And Certainly, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

We are looking for people to work as voluntary work for the local community.
There are many ways in which you can do voluntary work. You can volunteer to go shopping for old people or help organize a recycling project. Or you can become a member of a team. It might be about providing support to someone who has lost a family member, or who can’t deal with a change in their lifestyle. Or, it might be about looking after someone. Melissa has been helping the old people, “I didn’t think I’d have enough time at first, but when I saw how much difference I could make to people’s life, I managed to find the time to do that,” she says.
If you are interested in gardening or animals, then you might want to join in our new project to change waste gardens into places for growing fruit and vegetables, or care for local animals and wildlife. Jack is a volunteer at the Dogs and Cats Home.”I started volunteering when I was out of a job. It was a bad time for me. Then I found looking after the animals did a lot of good to me: for example, I began to feel light-hearted,” he says.
We also need volunteers to work at local hospital. Don’t worry-you don’t need any medical skills. Volunteer work might ask you to work with hospital staff, or spend time with parents. And there are also possibilities of being a police support volunteer.
If you are interested in volunteering, then get in touch with us. By spending just a few hours of your time each week, you can make a real difference to your local area. Write and tell us about your interest and how you think you can do something for the community.
