Last January, Minji ①deciding that she would run three kilometers every morning before school. For the first week, she woke up early and ②ran happily, feeling proud of her new habit.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to make small acts of kindness feel ①natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members ②collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel ③confident before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a ④warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a ⑤lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning.
