Undergraduate / "I decided to volunteer in the hospital" - IB school [5]

i recently make this chance please review it for me thanks!

The way you look at simple things determines how you behave and live your life I'm definitely not a pessimist but I'm not yet an optimistic one. Like many teenagers, I am sometimes afraid of making decisions, of exposing my true colours: myself. But I do love reading book and what I have read about Helen Keller turned my page. What she said that one should "always look to the sun and you will never see the shadow" is logically and figuratively meaningful to me. It changed my life.

Last year, I decided to volunteer in the hospital. With the aim of learning more about cancers, what I received was so much more. I met a 10 years old boy- Hai Dang, who can't go outside to feel the breezy wind of the summer. I saw the glow and tears on a mother's face when she knew her sick daughter was finally able to read. I learnt a lot from them: simply from how to smile while being injected to how to look at the sun without being dazzled.

With me, the glass is always half full as I know exactly how to always look at the sun without being dazzled: being optimistic.
