9.My name is Pablo.I think I'm a lucky guy.I have a good family,and we live in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta,Mexico.People travel here from many countries for their vacations.We have beautiful beaches,hotels,restaurants,shopping and sports.
However,in my beautiful hometown,there are also very poor neighborhoods.These areas are crowded and have a lot of crime.Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas.Some don't really have a childhood because they're homeless and live on the streets.They don't have education.They don't have enough food.Many use drugs or have diseases or mental problems.
Last year,I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City.I spent one year as a volunteer with an organization called Outreach International.They have several programs.I volunteered for one program to help street children.
I worked in a home for street children (all boys,at this one).At this home,the boys have a place to sleep and three meals daily.The home keeps the boys off the streets.It shows them another way of life.As a volunteer,I helped to prepare meals.I taught games---such as basketball,football and art.I helped the kids with their homework.These kids can be fun.They have a lot of energy,but they're also really tough.Their hardships on the streets make them strong and not always"sweet little children."
At this boys'home,I met two other volunteers---Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia.In many ways,we were very similar.We were the same age,came from good homes and had a good education.They were both college students,like me.We became very good friends.Now,we email each other.
It was the best---and most difficult---year of my life.I learned a lot that year.
