I also volunteer some of my time at the local community garden: I help grow vegetables that later go into meals at the community kitchen. Last summer I also volunteered at the kitchen, but I'm not good at cooking! B Josh, UK I love being active, so I'm always doing something. I go to the sports center nearly every day. I run and swim there. They have a great indoor swimming pool. I also do karate three times a week, but I'm still learning. I'm not very good yet, but maybe one day I'll compete.

Nadia, Egypt I feel great when I'm helping others. My mom's a teacher, and I help her teach adults to read and write. It's great to see them improving day by day. When I'm not doing that, I like writing about myself. I keep a journal about my life, and I also like to write stories. I often use Al to give me ideas about what to write. 2 1 Read the posts again.
