On April 28th, I went back to my hometown Mananshan for my volunteer work. I find that restaurant with the help of my father. The restaurant is called “Ming Yue Chinese restaurant”.
I arrived there at about 8:30. The restaurant began at 9 am. So when I came in, the master did not turn on the lights. All attendants were sitting around the table talking with each other. I introduced myself first and began getting ready for the work. Firstly, the master gave us a conclusion about yesterday’s work, and then gave us today’s work. For I was a new one, the master gave me a waitress to help me. She looked like my new teacher. The first thing was to clean the whole restaurant before it was opened and I was going to clean the mirror. There were many mirrors in that restaurant. I felt a little frightened. After I used the cloth to wipe the mirrors ,they were not clean. So my teacher told me that I had to use the newspaper to wipe them again. I had a try, it worked! After I cleaned all those mirrors, the restaurant opened. We waited until the first customers came in. At that time my task was to pass the menu from the customers to the Chef. The restaurant had 2 floors ,so my work was not easy. I had to run from the first floor to the second floor, and then ran back for many times. That was not over. At noon, there were lots of people eating here, but the attendants were not enough. When I gave the menus to the chief upstairs, I had to provide water for customers. When the customers needed towels, I had to pass them towels. When the customers left, I had to clean up the dishes on the table, changed wallpaper, and then waited for the next customers. Before the people said ‘customers are the gods’, I could not understand, but in this real restaurant I could understand these words strongly.
From 2p.m to 4p.m, we didn’t have a lot of customers. I also felt a little tired , so I relaxed myself during this time. At about 4:30, we started preparing for the night. At night , I also did the same things. However, the different was that I became more familiar with my work. I knew how to do these things correctly and I did my work faster. At about 9 pm, I finished my work. I was tired and hot, I took off my clothes. The master was pleased with me. She gave me the high evaluation.
This “restaurant work” is very useful and interesting. I have never done this kind of work before. It makes me feel tired, but I am still happy, because I learn some new things. I also find some happiness during the working time. Secondly, I knew that organizing a big restaurant is difficult and I understood the reason why my mother said “if you become a waiter, you will be very tired.” Lastly, this volunteer work makes me know earning money is difficult and toilsome. I know that I must study hard because my parents use their “sweat” to give me a good life. I didn’t want to make them upset.
I also did the other volunteer work that helped policeman to solve some traffic problems. I could attend this activity with the help of my parents’ friends. I did it on Oct 8th. At that time, we had holiday so I went back to Mananshan, and then I knew that special volunteer work. On Oct 8th, I arrived at the police office at 9 o’clock in the morning. The young policeman told me to stand on the yellow line and told people not to walk across the street during the red light. I worked from 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock. I can remember clearly about one thing. At first, I told a man to paint but he didn’t listen to me at all. He just rode his bicycle across the street. However, after that, his bicycle hit a blue car. When I saw that man lying on the road, I felt a little upset because I didn’t stop him successfully, After the person was sent to hospital, I felt a little better. I started worrying about the traffic accident and I also told my father to drive his car carefully.
These experiences are important to me .The volunteer work in the restaurant makes me realize the hard work of the laborers. The volunteer work as a policeman makes me feel a little surprised because I had thought policeman’s work was not hard. However, after I did those, I begin to understand them. Two different jobs give me different experiences. I know those will influence me forever.
