Extracurricular activities When in university, I joined the Student Union of our school and was elected to be the Vice Minister of Publicity Department at the second year. We promoted and organized students' activities, such as photo contest. Due to my love for Chinese calligraphy, I also joined the Painting and Calligraphy Association when I just entered the university and became the Secretary of this association next year. I having been studying Chinese calligraphy from junior high school and now it has become one part of my life. I won some prizes, but most importantly practicing calligraphy brings me peace and cultivates my mind. In addition to calligraphy, my other hobby is playing Guzheng (Chinese ancient zither). I owned my first Guzheng as a gift from my father when I graduated from senior high school. Most evenings after supper, I enjoy playing it for a while. As other hobbies do, music brings me spiritual pleasure and colors my life. Moreover, in my leisure time, I like to do volunteer work. I used to be a volunteer teacher at Linyi Haier Hope Primary School in summer holiday, 2010. We taught students English and Math. Most of them were left-behind children. We shared experiences and encouraged them to build their own dreams. Besides, I visited an elder in Jinan weekly when in university. She lived alone and was far away from her only daughter. I accompanied her on weekends, telling her some funny things happened in university or making dumplings with her for lunch. I also did other volunteer works and most of them were about children or elderly people.
