While at Cambridge, Darwin’ s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was remended(推薦 ). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.

My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents（住客） by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had acplished that goal. At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten letter word on the board and the residents would try to e up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they played． I also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help。 and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to th
