[详细]举一反三
It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well，that’s how I about joining Madcaps，a mothers and daughters’club assisting charity. ，my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an attitude．you might just enjoying it.
Six months ago，my mom told me the club asked us to work as at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter．That meant I had to in the dirty homeless shelter for at least 20 hours.
The first lime we went there，a lady led us to the kitchen where we my five fellow Madcaps classmates- they also wore the same mark .Since I′m usually awkward， I had never talked with any of them .Worse still，my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen，leaving me totally to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families in like rushing river．A little girl，around 5 years old，walked up to me I her a sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly．As she walked away, I she was wearing a coat．Clearly too big for her, hanging on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had with her．It suddenly struck me that how I am.
After that moment I had a of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the 20 hours of charity.
So that is how I have made a by doing one thing I do not want to do .If you have an open about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded（全面的）person.
