Anna really wanted to do something significant for her school before she went to college. But she couldn't think of anything meaningful that would influence the lives of her schoolmates. 

    One day, Anna saw a girl sitting by the school pond crying. Anna went up to her and said, "Are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?" Anna found out that the girl was in her first year and was having trouble coping with her schoolwork. Then, Anna had an idea. She would start a tutoring group where seniors could help juniors who were struggling in their subjects.

    Before long, many seniors volunteered to join Anna's tutoring group. Soon, Anna also started other support groups like "I'm not Alone" which provided counseling for students whose parents had been divorced and "Crime Fighters" where students helped prevent theft. Anna was happy that she made a difference in her peers' lives. She was showered with flowers of appreciation from her friends at her graduation!

    安娜十分想在高中畢業(yè)前為母校做點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn)，但她想不出能做些什么有意義的事。

    一天，安娜看見一個(gè)女孩坐在學(xué)校池塘邊上哭。她便上前問道：“你還好嗎？有什么我能幫你的？” 安娜得知女孩上一年級(jí)，在學(xué)習(xí)上遇到些麻煩。安娜突然有了主意。她要?jiǎng)?chuàng)辦一個(gè)輔導(dǎo)小組，讓高年級(jí)學(xué)生有機(jī)會(huì)幫助學(xué)習(xí)有困難的低年級(jí)同學(xué)。

    不久，許多高年級(jí)同學(xué)都自愿加入這個(gè)小組。很快地，安娜還開辦了其他小組，比如為父母離異的學(xué)生提供心理輔導(dǎo)的“我不孤單”小組和防止犯罪的“罪惡克星”小組。能給大家的生活帶來改變，安娜覺得十分高興。在畢業(yè)典禮上，她收到許多朋友贈(zèng)送的鮮花。

    也許你也可以創(chuàng)建一個(gè)互助小組。你可以有以下幾個(gè)選擇：

    1)幫助同學(xué)戒煙

    2)幫助同學(xué)戒酒、戒賭

    3)提供健康咨詢

    7)幫助受情緒困擾的同學(xué)

    8)幫助貧困生
