Growing up，I wanted to be just like my mom.She was kind.People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence.For years，she was a volunteer in our community.I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
   On one summer day，Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends.Why did she have to ruin everything？I imagined the cool lake water.Irritated ，I climbed into the car and shut the door with a loud noise.We sat in silence.I was too upset to make conversation.
"Tasha，would you like to know where we are going？" Mama asked calmly.
"No，" I said.
"We are going to volunteer at a children's shelter today.I have been there before and I think it would benefit you，" she explained.
   When we reached the shelter，Mama rang the doorbell.Moments later，we were greeted by a woman.She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing.I noticed a baby whose body was full of iron beaten marks.I was told it was because she wouldn't stop crying.The majority of the children were physically hurt.Others hid their emotional wounds.
   As I took in my surroundings，I felt a gentle tug on my shirt.I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. "Hi You want to play dolls with me？" she asked.I looked over at Mama.She smiled and nodded.I turned back and said， "Sure" Her tiny hand reached up and held mine，as if to comfort me.
   My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer.I returned to the shelter with her several times.During those visits some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful or what I had.Today as I try hard to teach these values to my own child，I reflect back to that experience.It was a time that I will never forget.
